Ingredients

For the Graham Cracker Crust

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs about 10-12 graham crackers
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons honey

For the Sweet Potato Filling

  • 3 medium sweet potatoes or 2 cups of mashed sweet potato
  • 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions
 

  • For the Graham Cracker Crust
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray a 9” deep dish pie pan with nonstick baking spray. If you don’t use a deep-dish pie pan, you’ll have about 1 ¼ cups of extra filling. 
  • In a large bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, melted butter, and honey until well combined.
  • Press the mixture into the pie dish, making sure to cover the bottom and sides in an even layer. 
  • Bake the graham cracker crust for 8 minutes and then set it aside while you prepare the filling.
  • For the Sweet Potato Filling
  • Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1” cubes. Add the potato chunks to a pot and then add just enough water to cover them. Bring the pot to a boil over high heat and cook until the potatoes are fork tender– about 15 minutes. 
  • Drain the cooked sweet potatoes well and then puree them in a food processor until smooth.
  • Measure out 2 cups of sweet potato puree and add it to a large bowl with the remaining ingredients (sweetened condensed milk, eggs, butter, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg). Whisk to combine. 
  • Pour the sweet potato filling into the prepared graham cracker crust and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the filling is set and just barely jiggles when shaken. 
  • Allow the pie to cool fully to room temperature and then transfer it to the fridge to chill for at least 2 hours, or until set. Enjoy.
