Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups mashed sweet potatoes (about 2 large sweet potatoes)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup chopped pecans (toasted)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce sweet potatoes with a fork and roast for about 45 minutes until tender.
  2. Once cooled, peel the sweet potatoes and mash until smooth. Mix in granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and salt until creamy.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine toasted pecans, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and softened butter to create a crumbly streusel topping.
  4. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust and top generously with the pecan streusel.
  5. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes or until set. Cover edges with foil if they brown too quickly.
