Sweetpotato Bake
- 5 oz Brown sugar

- 1/4 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 tbsp Vanilla extract
- 3 Eggs
- 5-6 North Carolina sweetpotatoes
- 1.5 oz Pie dough

Sweetpotato Bake
Roll out about 1.5 oz of pie dough into a round to line a mini pie pan. Let rest in refrigerator.
Wash sweetpotatoes. Place on a sheet pan and bake for an hour or until done. They should be soft, and a fork should easily penetrate the potato.
Allow the sweetpotatoes to cool completely. Remove the skins and place them into a mixing bowl.
Combine brown sugar and eggs with the sweetpotatoes. Turn the mixer on medium speed and mix thoroughly.
Add cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and vanilla extract to mixture. Mix until fully incorporated.
Fill lined pie tin halfway with sweet potato mixture and bake at 350*F for 15 min or until set up.
Pecan Filling
Mix all ingredients until fully incorporated.
Once sweetpotato portion is fully baked, pull out of oven and fill the rest of the crust with pecan pieces, (about 1⁄4 cup per pie) and then cover and fully fill with pecan filling.
Bake again at 350*F for 15-18 minutes, until pecan filling has set.
