Not a fan of sweet potatoes? This recipe will convert you. Sweet potato pie is an old-fashioned Southern pie. This version is especially creamy and rich in flavor. The blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground ginger creates a filling that's perfectly spiced. There's a teaspoon of bourbon that adds notes of caramel and vanilla enhancing the fall spices and upping the flavor. This is an exceptional sweet potato pie recipe for Thanksgiving or Christmas. My sweet potato pie won 1st place in a baking competition. My family requests that I bring my sweet potato pies to every family gathering, Christmas, Thanksgiving, and family reunion.
