Homemade Sweet Potato Pie!!!

OMG! I am such a sweet potato lover, so I couldn't resist in making this yummy treat for Thanksgiving. This is just the recipe for the pie itself; I do have a post with the crust I use a few posts down!!!

Ingredients:

1 lb sweet potato

1/4 cup butter (I used Smart Balance)

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce 

1 cup stevia

1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk

1/3 cup egg whites (equals 2 whole eggs)

1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla extract

1-9" pie crust

-First you need to boil the sweet potatoes. How you do it is completely up to you. You can boil with the skin on & it should come off easily once they are soft or you can peel & then boil (that's how I did it)

-Once they are soft, I mashed them & added the rest of the ingredients & mixed til smooth. I don't own any fancy mixing gadgets, so it's just me & my own force! lol.

-Pour mixture into the pie crust. Bake at 350 degrees F for 55 - 60 minutes. It'll sink a bit once it cools down, don't freak! :~)
