Instructions
Prepare The Crust:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter.
- Press this mixture into a 9-inch pie dish, ensuring an even distribution along the bottom and up the sides.
- Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove it from the oven and set it aside.
Prepare The Filling:
- In a large bowl, mix together the mashed sweet potatoes, granulated sugar, brown sugar, evaporated milk, beaten eggs, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, salt, and vanilla extract.
- Stir in the melted butter until the filling is smooth and well combined.
Assemble And Bake:
- Pour the sweet potato filling into the pre-baked graham cracker crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until the filling is set. You can check the doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean when the pie is done.
- Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack.
