Where I’m from, sweet potatoes are a staple we serve with just about every meal in the fall. And one of the best ways to serve them is baked in a deep dish pie.

Here’s the way I’ve been baking sweet potato pie for years, along with a marshmallow meringue that can be piled high on top of this delicious deep dish dessert.

Sweet Potato Pie Recipe

We take sweet potatoes serious around here and one of our local communities even hosts their own Sweet Potato Festival where they serve up some of the best pies you’ve ever tasted.

Over the years I’ve tried different recipes for baking my own. However, I think this pie should be about the creamy sweet potato filling. And that’s why I only use a few spices to enhance its natural sweetness. That way this bright orange beauty can really shine as the star of her own show.

You could also stretch this recipe into two thinner pies if you wanted. But that’s only if you don’t want as much sweet potato–and my family has come to expect plenty of its flavor with every bite.

Don’t forget the Marshmallow Meringue–Click HERE for the Recipe

    I don’t know which one I want first. This Pie or the Apple pie, they both look so yummy.

      It’s probably a Southern thing, Barb– but we pretty much serve sweet potato every way imaginable 🙂

    I have to say that I have never been a sweet potato pie kind of girl but this looks amazing. Especially that meringue topping.
