Saw the episode this morning, and had yet to attempt a sweet potato pie, so I decided to try with this lighter recipe. First off, Rachel McBride's pie crust recipe is amazing. You're getting some whole wheat and the flaxseed meal, which gives the crust a wonderful taste. Normally I'm not one to notice a pie crust, they tend to be dry and flaky, but this was a perfect accent to the sweet potato pie! I also followed the recommendation of adding chopped pecans to the pie crust before I baked it, and it really gave the pie crust a nice crunchy texture. The sweet potato filling was easy to make, and I really liked the use of brown sugar and molasses versus refined sugar - this sweetens the pie just enough. All in all, this is a definite addition to my dessert recipe folder!
