I made this as a turkey sidedish, for thanksgiving. I used canned yams ( drained, of course) and I threw it all into the kitchenaid. I did reduce the nutmeg to 1/2 tsp. I poured this into 2 shells and baked . This took a bit longer than directed-about 1 hour total. I sprinkled cinnamon/brown sugar on the top. Everyone raved and devoured this! This is not overly sweet-just right. Thanks Tonkats-I will make again!!

This is a fantastic recipe. Worthy of its 5 stars. I have made it twice now, following the recipe exactly (ingredient wise and it's come ou perfectly both times. I also made one deep dish pie and cooked it on 350 for about 1hr20min. It comes out perfect and there's enough batter left over to make some pre-eating ramikin pies w/o crust. This also allows my husband and I to enjoy the pie before anyone else, lol. Served with homemade whipped cream, it's just delicious. Thank you!

I agree....this is so YUMMY! I used one large 29 ounce can of sweet potatoes in syrup. If you drain it and mash the sweet potatoes, it equals about 2 cups as the recipe calls for. I cut the sugar down to 3/4 cup to compensate for the sweetness added by the syrup the potatoes were canned in. I also made it into one good 9 inch pie. It baked up beautifully. I baked it on 425 for 20 minutes to brown the crust and then dropped it to 350 for the remainder of the 1 hour baking time. Fantastic and will make it again1

This pie was excellent! Very simple to make, not too sweet, and not too many spices fighting with each other. The recipe said it would make 2 pies, but I poured most of it into a 9" pie plate, and made one really nice pie. It did however, take one hour to cook, which is what Lennie estimated (when she graciously answered my post in Q & A). For those of you that don't know, which I didn't, a pie such as this one is done when a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Again, this is simplicity at it's best! A real keeper. BTW, my husband requested this, and he's not really a pie person. He said it was "fantastic"! Thanks, Tonkcats!
