What You’ll Need:
- Double Crust Pie Pastry
- 6 Medium Sized Sweet Potatoes
- 1 ¼ Cups Granulated Sugar
- 2 Tablespoons All Purpose Flour
- ¼ Teaspoon Ground Allspice
- ½ Teaspoon Ginger
- ½ Teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
- ¼ Teaspoon Ground Cloves
- ¼ Cup Molasses, Pure Can Syrup, or Honey
- 1/3 Cup Cold Unsalted Butter, Chopped into Small Pieces
Steps:
- Unwrap the chilled pie dough and place it on a lightly floured surface. Let them sit until they are at room temperature. Roll each disk into a 12-inch circle. Carefully fit it into a 9-inch deep-dish glass pie plate. This should leave a 1 1/2 inch overhang. Place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Prepare the sweet potatoes by placing the whole, unpeeled sweet potato in a large pt with water. Bring to a rolling boil. Once it starts to boil, reduce heat to maintain a subtle boil. Cook until the sweet potatoes are tender enough to be sliced. You do not want to overcook them as they will begin to fall apart.
- Stir the sugar, allspice, ginger, ground nutmeg, cloves together.
- Drain the sweet potatoes and allow them to cool. Peel and trim them. Cut potatoes into ¼ inch thick rounds. Gently toss the sweet potatoes with a sugar-spice mixture.
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Cover the bottom of the piecrust with a layer of sweet potato filling. Layer as necessary to fill piecrust. Sprinkle all remaining sugar-spice mixture over the top of the pie, drizzle with molasses and place the butter pieces on top.
- Fold the remaining pie crust over the edges and decorate however you would like to.
- Brush the pie crust with an egg wash.
- Bake in preheated oven until crust is browned. This will take approximately one hour.
- Allow it to cool before serving. Top with molasses whipped cream.
