Step 8- Add 1 1/2 cups sugar. Mix on medium high speed until combined. Scrape down sides of bowl.
Note- Be careful not to add too much of the spices into your pie. If you add too much of the spices it will overpower all of the ingredients in your pie.
Step 9-Add 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg and 1/8 teaspoon all spice. Mix on medium high speed until combined. Scrape down sides of bowl.
Step 10- (Optional) Add 1/4 cup all-purpose flour. This acts as a thickening and binding agent for your pie filling. It will improve the texture and stability of your pie.
Baking your Sweet Potato Pie.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Step 11- Add Sweet potato pie filling into a frozen pie shell. Spread pie filling around pie shell as even as possible. To make the filling more even, shake your pie pan slightly.
Step 12- Place into a preheated 350-degree oven for 1 hour and 10 minutes.
Step 13- Remove pie from oven. Tap sides of pie pan. If the center of the pie jiggles or if the pie filling doesn’t jiggle at all it is done. Let pie cool completely before serving.
For best results.
Serve your pie the next day after you bake it so that way the flavors of the pie can settle and increase overnight.
