Sweet Potato Autumn Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Boil sweet potato whole in skin for 40 to 50 minutes, or until done. Run cold water over the sweet potato, and remove the skin.
• Break apart sweet potato in a bowl. Add butter, and mix well with mixer. Stir in sugar, milk, eggs, nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla. Beat on medium speed until mixture is smooth. Pour filling into an unbaked pie crust.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 55 to 60 minutes, or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Pie will puff up like a souffle, and then will sink down as it cools.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Cook ground turkey until browned, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Stir in onion, bell pepper, garlic, salt, pepper, oregano, cumin, ancho chile powder, and cinnamon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion and peppers have softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and pumpkin. Top with mashed sweet potatoes and sprinkle with smoked paprika.
• Bake in the preheated oven until flavors are well combined and sweet potatoes are browned, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Roll out half the pastry and fit into a standard pie tin.
• Leave the edges flat and cut them off a bit over the edge.
• Chill down hard.
• Meanwhile, take the rest of the pastry and roll out, then cut out about 30 leaves from it.
• Place them on a sheet pan and chill.
• Mix all of the ingredients for the filling together (sweet potato through bourbon).
• Pour into the well-chilled crust.
• Use the egg wash to attach the pastry leaves to the edge of the pie crust, then brush them with the remaining egg wash.
• Bake at 375 degrees for 1 hour.
• Chill for at least 4 hours before serving.
• Serve with unsweetened whipped cream.
• NOTE: Just bake 3 medium sized sweet potatoes in the oven until nice and soft.
• Scoop out the flesh and mash very well in your mixer.
• This should give you a little over 2 cups.
• You can substitute pumpkin for the sweet potatoes if you like.
