    Instructions

    Prepare Crusts for Pie

    • Prepare the bottom pie crust by rolling the dough out to 12-14 inches in diameter.
    • Carefully lift the dough and set onto a 9-inch pie plate (make sure it's at least 1 and ½ inches deep).
    • Using your fingers, gently press the dough into the pie plate , letting excess hang over.
    • Take a sharp knife and trim the overhanging dough. Shape again with fingers.
    • Take a fork and poke a few holes across bottom of crust.
    • Place in fridge to firm while you prepare your filling.
    • Roll out second pie crust, use leaf cutters to cut out decorations. Place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Set in the fridge until ready to assemble.

    Make your filling:

    • Prepare fresh sweet potato mash. Can make the day before and store in an airtight container in the fridge. See tips in above post!
    • In bowl of stand mixer with whisk attachment cream your butter and brown sugar together until smooth.
    • Add maple syrup, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
    • Switch to paddle attachment.
    • Pour in eggs one at a time and mix on medium high until blended.
    • Add yogurt and pumpkin puree. Continue to mix on medium high until everything is incorporated. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl.
    • Mix until everything is incorporated.

    Make the Sweet Potato Pie:

    • Preheat oven to 350°F (176 C)
    • Remove crust from the fridge.
    • Spoon your filling into crust.
    • Take a pastry brush and paint the bottom of each leaf with egg wash before sticking to top of pie. Once you have decorated the pie with leaves, paint a little egg wash across the top of pastry.
    • Bake for 45-50 minutes until the center reaches 170 F or slightly firm when pressed with fingers..
    • Cover pie with aluminum foil halfway through baling to prevent burning the crust.
    • Place pie dish on cooling to completely cool and set.
    • Store in the fridge!
