THE BEST SWEET POTATO PIE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix egg yolk with 1/4 cup ice water; set aside. Place flour, sugar and salt in a food processor; pulse until blended. Add shortening and butter; pulse until shortening and butter are the size of peas. While pulsing, add egg yolk mixture. Add just enough of remaining ice water to form moist crumbs. Divide dough in half. Shape each into a disk; wrap and refrigerate 1 hour or overnight. , Preheat oven to 400°. Scrub sweet potatoes; place in a 13x9-in. baking pan with 1-1/2 cups water. Bake until tender, 45-50 minutes. Meanwhile, on a lightly floured surface, roll 1 disk of dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. deep-dish pie plate. Trim crust to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge. Roll remaining disk to 1/8-in. thickness; cut into desired shapes with floured 1-in. cookie cutters. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate crust and cutouts for at least 30 minutes., Peel potatoes when they are cool enough to handle; place in a food processor. Pulse to coarsely mash. Add brown sugar and the next 8 ingredients; blend until smooth. Pour filling into chilled crust. Bake on lowest oven rack 15 minutes. Reduce oven setting to 350°; bake until center is just set, 20-25 minutes. Bake crust cutouts on an upper oven rack until golden brown, 10-12 minutes. Cool on a wire rack; decorate pie with cutouts and toppings as desired.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the sweet potatoes and 1/2 cup of the sugar, as well as the eggs, butter, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Beat until thoroughly blended and smooth. Pour the mixture into the pie shell and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup sugar.

SWEET POTATO PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Put the sweet potatoes on a foil-lined half-sheet pan. Bake, turning once, until very tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. When cool enough to handle, take the sweet potatoes out of their jackets and scrape the flesh into a 1-quart measuring cup. You should have 2 1/2 cups packed sweet potato.
• Raise the oven temperature to 425 degrees F.
• Line the frozen dough with foil and fill with pie weights. Bake until dry and set, about 25 minutes. Remove the foil with the weights and bake the dough until golden brown, about 5 minutes longer. Let cool completely, then place on a half-sheet pan.
• Transfer the sweet potato to a large bowl and add the cinnamon, ginger, allspice, nutmeg, salt, butter, brown sugar, and the evaporated milk. Beat with a heavy whisk until smooth. Taste and add more brown sugar if you'd like. The amount will depend on the sweetness of your spuds. Add the eggs and whisk until fully incorporated. Pour into the pie crust and spread evenly.
• Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Bake until the top is golden brown and the filling has puffed and set, about 40 minutes. If the crust browns too quickly, cover it with foil and continue baking. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
• Dissolve the sugar and salt in 1/3 cup water and chill until cold.
• Pulse the flour and butter in a stand mixer until the mixture looks like coarse meal with some pea-size pieces. Add the water all at once and mix until the dough almost forms a ball. Divide the dough in half and flatten into two disks.
• Wrap each disk tightly in plastic wrap and chill until firm, at least 30 minutes or up to 3 days. You can freeze the dough for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before rolling.

• 5. Set aside to cool, about 5 minutes. Fold in half the tub of cool whip. Make sure its well incorporated.
• 6. Get out 3 small zip lock baggies or if you have a piping bag you can use that, I just find baggies work great as well. Place enough potato mixture to fill halfway full. Snip end of one corner, large enough to get a good flow of potato. Pipe about 1 tablespoon into each indented cookie cup.
• 7. Do the same with the cool whip. Pipe a dollop atop the sweet potato mixture. Sprinkle with pecans.
• 8. Barely heat up some caramel, just enough it will easily drizzle,and add to 3rd bag. Drizzle some caramel atop each pie cup.
• 9. Refrigerate until ready to serve. So darn yummy! Note* you could probably use canned sweet potatoes as well, to simplify the recipe even further. I may try that the next time.
