Sweet Potato Pie With Pumpkinseed Crunch
- 1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes, baked and mashed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg whites
- 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon grated whole nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons turbinado or raw sugar
- 1/2 cup pumpkinseeds
- Preheat oven to 375u0b0. Working with prepared dough, press down edges with floured fork tines, leaving 1-inch between crimping. Freeze 10 minutes or until firm.
- Line bottom of dough with foil; top with pie weights. Bake in middle of oven 20 minutes or until set. Remove weights and foil, and return to oven. Bake 8-10 minutes more. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool.
- Whisk together mashed sweet potato with whole eggs, 1 egg white, 1/2 cup maple syrup, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Spoon into shell, and brush edges with remaining egg white; sprinkle with sugar. Bake in middle of oven 40 minutes or until set. (If crust is becoming too brown, cover with foil.) Transfer to a wire rack.
- Spray a piece of foil with cooking spray. Toast pumpkinseeds in a skillet 1-2 minutes or until syrup has reduced and seeds are golden. Transfer to foil; spread in 1 layer. Let cool 15 minutes. Crumble, and garnish pie. Slice and serve.
