Sweet Potato Pie
This is a tasty pie but after looking at the recipe again - I am going to cut way back on the sugar in the streusel topping. We've elimanated a lot of sugar in our diets over the last few months and I don't think less sugar will hurt the topping at all. :-)
SWEET POTATO PIE
1 cup mashed sweet potatoes, canned or fresh
2 large eggs, beaten slightly
1 ¼ cups canned evaporated milk
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon butter
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 unbaked deep-dish pie crust
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Mix all ingredients and pour into the pie crust. Bake for 10 minutes and then turn oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 20 minutes or until a knife inserted in middle comes out almost clean. Put streusel topping on; cook for additional 5 to 10 minutes.
Streusel Topping
½ to ¾ cup chopped pecans
½ to ¾ cup brown sugar
2 to 3 tablespoons melted butter
Mix together and put on top of pie.
