This fall dessert gives us a quick break from pumpkin. Indulge in its custard-like sweet potato filling that\u2019s warmed up with autumnal nutmeg.

Or, for an especially flaky and delectable pastry, try our recipe for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/classic-butter-pie-pastry\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/classic-butter-pie-pastry\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">classic butter pie crust<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><b>Sweet potatoes:<\/b> Canned or boiled sweet potatoes can add too much moisture to a custard. We recommend you start with whole sweet potatoes and roast them until soft. Once cooled, peel and mash them with a ricer or food processor to remove any stringy bits.<\/li>\n<li><b>Light corn syrup:<\/b> Corn syrup is a liquid sweetener that does wonders for baked goods. It adds volume, softens the texture, prevents crystallization and provides the perfect amount of sweetness.<\/li>\n<li><b>Evaporated milk:<\/b> Evaporated milk is denser and creamier than regular milk, and it creates an amazing silky texture in pie fillings.<\/li>\n<li><b>Nutmeg:<\/b> Nutmeg has a unique flavor profile and is part of what gives this recipe its autumnal flavor. Grate the nutmeg yourself for an even fresher flavor and aroma.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Prepare the crust<\/h3>\n<p>Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. Unroll your premade pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan. Flute the edges, and place the crust back in the fridge until you&#8217;re ready to fill it.<\/p>\n<p><i>Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/i> Fluted edges are just one of several easy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-decorative-pie-crusts\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-decorative-pie-crusts\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">decorative pie crusts<\/a> you can learn to make.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Make the batter<\/h3>\n<p>In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, nutmeg and salt. In a large bowl, beat the sweet potatoes, eggs, butter and corn syrup. Whisk in the flour mixture, then gradually stir in the milk. Scrape down the bottom and sides of the bowl, and stir again. Pour the batter into the prepared pie crust.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Bake and cool the pie<\/h3>\n<p>Bake until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes. Cool the pie on a wire rack until room temperature. Place the pie in the refrigerator, and let it chill for at least three hours.<\/p>\n<h2>Southern Sweet Potato Pie Variations<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1916513 size-large alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Southern-Sweet-Potato-Pie-FT23_2375_ST_0803_3.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"A Plate of Southern Sweet Potato Pie\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Add a topping:<\/b> Once your pie has cooled, dollop on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/sweetened-whipped-cream\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/sweetened-whipped-cream\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">sweetened whipped cream,<\/a> and drizzle with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/salted-caramel-sauce\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/salted-caramel-sauce\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">salted caramel sauce<\/a>.
