Homemade sweet potato pies are a big thing around the holidays depending on where you are. I know they’re often seen on Thanksgiving tables, but they can truly fit any occasion because there’s never a wrong time to serve pie.
While there’s a lot of wonderful and complex flavors in this pie the recipe and the ingredients list are fairly simple. We make an old-fashioned apple cider crust to keep our pie crust flaky and flavorful. The filling is a combination of cinnamon, maple syrup, pecans, and a basic sweet potato pie filling which all work so well together you’ll wonder why you hadn’t tried this combination before.
