 Hey guys, welcome back to our channel. My name is Andrea with Food and Mentory Adventures in Food. Fall is right around the corner and of course that means fall baking and I wanted to share my favorite recipe for sweet potato pie. It is so easy to make. So let me show you what you're going to need. You're going to need some sweet potatoes of course and I know some people use canned sweet potatoes. I prefer to use fresh sweet potatoes. So what I have here is 2.7 pounds of sweet potatoes that I have baked in the oven at 400 degrees for about an hour. And you'll know that the sweet potatoes are ready to go. When you see the brown sugar or the sweetness I should say from the sweet potatoes starting to ooze out and when you can just poke a fork in there and it comes out easily. So like I said I have about 2.7 pounds of sweet potatoes. You're also going to need some eggs, some sugar, some canned milk, butter, vanilla, nutmeg, and cinnamon and two pie crust because my recipe makes two pies. So if you want to see how these easy pies come together stay tuned. So I've already peeled two sweet potatoes but I wanted to come back and show you guys how to peel a sweet potato just in case you haven't done it before. So these are still pretty warm out of the oven and so all you're going to do is just pull the skin off and any areas that have gotten too brown you're just going to take them off with a knife. It is and just kind of work the skin off that way and it's pretty easy to peel. So here it is all peeled. Just going to put it in the bowl there. Alright so I've got my sweet potatoes in the bowl and I'm going to start off by mixing these up a little bit before I add all the other ingredients and by the way I will make sure to put the recipe in the description box. So I'm going to start off by mixing these up for just a couple of minutes and I'm going to add my stick of butter and it's softened butter. Going to add in my cinnamon and nutmeg, my vanilla, my sugar and my evaporated milk and we're going to give this a good mix. Alright so everything is all mixed up. Now I haven't added the eggs yet and that's intentionally because I want to taste the mixture to see if it tastes like I want it to taste. So let me taste just a little bit of it. It's good. I like it. But this is the point where if it's not creamy enough for you you can add more milk in. If you want more cinnamon, more nutmeg, anything like that this is the point that you're going to want to do it before you add in your eggs. So I'm satisfied with this filling and this is the texture or the consistency of it I should say right here. So I'm going to go ahead and add in my eggs right now and by the way I've got my oven preheated to 350 degrees. So I've got my eggs and my eggs are room temperature too. So my great grandmother used to love to bake and she always told me make sure that all of your baking ingredients are always at room temperature. Same thing with my pie crust. They are not in the frozen state so I let them thaw out and they are completely thawed out. So let me mix this up. So I've got my pie crust here and I'm just going to pour the filling in. Try not to make a mess. And by the way these are not deep dish pie crust. These are just regular traditional pie crust. Alright so here are the pies and I'm going to pop these in the oven. Like I said my oven has preheated to 350 degrees. I'm going to pop these in the oven and bake them for about an hour. So when they are ready and come out of the oven I'll show you guys what they look like. Alright so here are the sweet potato pies. I ended up baking these for about an hour in 10 minutes and they have been cooling on my countertop for a couple of hours and here they are. It's like I said it's such a simple recipe and so easy to do. And I cut a slice out so that you guys could see what a slice looks like and here it is. And I can't wait to dig in.
