*Award* Winning Sweet Potato Pecan Pie

This is another must have at Thanksgiving time in our house. Sweet Potato Pecan Pie. You must try it. Well, you don't have to because I don't eat it either but my family loves it. Enjoy!


Filling Ingredients
1 (9") unbaked pie shell
1 lb Sweet Potatoes, cooked and peeled (about 2 medium)
3 1/2 tablespoons of real butter
14 oz sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon grated orange rind
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs

Topping Ingredients
1 egg
3 tablespoons dark corn syrup
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoons real butter
1/2 teaspoon maple flavoring
1 cup pecans

Preheat oven to 350. In large bowl beat hot sweet potatoes with butter until smooth. Add remaining pie ingredients. Mix well. pour into pie shell. Bake for about 30 minutes. Until pie is set.

Mix topping ingredients together. Once pie has set remove from oven. Pour pecan topping evenly over top of pie. Bake for another 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown. I always test the middle by placing a toothpick in, if it comes out clean its done. Enjoy. Refrigerate leftovers.
