Rustic Sweet Potato Pie
- 2 medium sweet potatoes (650-700 g or 1 1/2 lbs raw. It's 2 cups/450-500 g after mashing)
- 1/2 cup (90 g) sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract or oil
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest (optional)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 3-4 dashes ground cloves
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 2 eggs
- 1 unbaked pie crust or make your own with the ingredients below:
- 150 g flour
- 100 g butter
- 50 g (50 ml) ice water
- 1 pinch salt (not needed if using salted butter)
- 1 tsp sugar
- For the homemade pie dough (if you have one already start on Step 4): Put flour and salt (leave out if using salted butter) into a large bowl.
- Cut butter into small cubes and add to flour.
- {You can see more detailed recipe for pie dough in my recipe here: https://cookpad.com/us/recipes/198326 }
- Rub in the butter into the flour until butter is broken up into pea-sized pieces and mixed throughout.
- Mix in sugar and gradually mix in the cold water until the dough begins to come together.
- Knead into a ball.
- Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least one hour.
- To roast potatoes (you can boil too, though I think the taste is nicer if roasted): Preheat oven to 200C/400F.
- Peel and cut sweet potatoes into cubes.
- Drizzle with 2 Tbsp vegetable/canola oil.
- Bake for 40 minutes (turn and mix halfway through so it baked evenly) or until fork tender.
- Mash with a fork.
- (After mashing I used 2 cups or 450-500 g)
- Add sugar, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, lemon juice and vanilla.
- Mix in yoghurt.
- Taste again just in case and adjust any seasoning or sweetness.
- Lastly, mix in the eggs until smooth.
- Preheat oven to 350F/180C.
- Roll out pie dough if using homemade one.
- (Again, see details in my basic pie dough recipe here: https://cookpad.com/us/recipes/198326)
- When ready to bake, fill the pie crust with the filling.Smooth out - add some pie crust decorations if you like :)
- Bake for about 1 hour until set.
- Let cool completely before enjoying.
