Our wonderful neighbor and amazing cook, Sylvia Cushberry, gave me her recipe for 'Crispy Topped Yams.' It took me several weekends to modify her recipe into the ultimate sweet potato pie. It's a real show-stopper at any holiday dinner... and tastes divine! Recipe is: © 2002-2022, Sheryl Ann Umstead-Kelly, All rights reserved.

Steps

1 hr 30 mins

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2

Mix sweet potatoes, ¾ stick melted butter, milk, eggs, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and sugar well. Divide the filling between the pie shells and spread evenly in each shell. Protect the pie crust edges with aluminum foil or pie crust shields. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until the filling is set. Test the center of the pie with a toothpick; when it comes out clean, the pie is set.
3

While the pies are baking, mix the corn flakes, pecans, and brown sugar together. Pour the melted butter over the mixture while stirring it. Make sure it is mixed well and all the dry ingredients are moist.
4

When the filling is set, pull the pies out of the oven. Remove the aluminum foil or pie crust shields. You can brush the crusts with a beaten egg, if desired. Divide the topping between the pies making sure the tops are completely covered. Return the pies to the oven and bake for 15 minutes more or until the toppings are golden brown.
5

Allow pies to cool completely before serving.
