My pregnant wife was craving sweet potato pie and pecan pie, so I made her both—sweet potato pecan pies. 🥧 Ingredients Sweet potato filling: * 1 baked and mashed sweet potato * ¼ cup melted butter * ¾ cup sugar * 1 egg, whisked * ¼ teaspoon cinnamon * ⅛ teaspoon salt * Nutmeg, to taste * 1 teaspoon vanilla Pecan filling: * 2 eggs * ¼ cup sugar * ¼ cup brown sugar * ¼ cup corn syrup * 1 teaspoon vanilla * ¾ cup crushed pecans * ¼ cup pecan halves For the crust: * 1 ready-made pie crust Directions Preheat the oven to 350°F. Combine the mashed sweet potato, melted butter, sugar, egg, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and vanilla. Mix well and set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup, and vanilla. Stir in the crushed pecans and pecan halves. Cut the pie crust into 2-inch circles using a cup, cookie cutter, or whatever you have nearby. Press the circles into a cupcake pan. Gather the leftover dough, roll it out again, and continue cutting until you have 12 crusts. Spoon the sweet potato filling into each crust, then add a layer of the pecan filling on top. Bake for about 20 minutes, then let them cool completely for around an hour- fr! 😂
