This recipe was easy to make even though I have never made a sweet potato pie before. I have to confess that I've also never eaten sweet potato pie, so I have no standard by which to compare the results. I did use regular butter rather than unsalted, and the flavor seemed fine to me in that regard. However, I did think the pie needed more spices; compared to the pumpkin pie that I made the same day, it wasn't as flavorful. I did get lots of compliments on it, nonetheless. If I make it again, I will probably add some ginger and increase the amount of cinnamon. BTW, I had to bake mine about 45 minutes, not 25 as the recipe stated.

I think the recipe was great. Maycook4 I don't know what you did in order for it to come out grainy and tasteless but I followed the recipe almost exactly and my pies came out fluffly and good. One thing I changed was I added a little more nutmeg and cinnamon because I like the taste and I used half a orange and a store bought crust.Thanks for the recipe. This was my first time making a homemade sweet potatoe pie.

The filling was grainy and tasteless. It wasn't sweet at all and barely had any spice. I absolutely hated it and let everybody know...which opened the door for agreement all around the table.
I went over the recipe, thinking I did something wrong...but I followed the directions.

Made a test run of this pie for my mother-in-law and she loved it. Made a second one with these modifications... used a pre-made pie shell, my mother-in-law doesn't like a lot of spice and I don't like nutmeg so I cut the nutmeg, dropped the allspice to 1/4 tsp, left cinnamon as is, and the best thing was roasting off the potatoes instead of boiling them. They have a much better flavor that way. Great recipe... it's a keeper.

I made this and it was wonderful. I had used pre-made pie crust and they were awesome! This was my first time making sweet potato pie. It did take a while on the baking, but it was oh so worth it!!! I had enough filling to make three pies. They were the most beautiful pies I had ever seen! Easy recipie with great results. Must be patient! I am looking forward to using this one again. I will have to post a picture!
You would think that the mixture is too watery for the pie crust, don't worry just pour it on in....Bake..bake...bake....set a timer and come back to follow up. I was worried that the mixture was too watery at first, great end results!

I had major problems with this recipe. The Pastry Dough recipe was the consistency of icing even though I used cold butter. It made an enormous amount of dough and was impossible use. 4 1/2 cups of flour and 12 oz of butter are too much dough for even two pies. The ingredients made two pies and the bottom dough was almost 1/2 inch thick. Pie filling was good. In the future I will use my regular pie dough if I ever make this pie again.

I made 4 pies using this recipe for Thanksgiving and they were a hit! I absolutely love this recipe. It was really easy and I would have never thought to add a orange. I will use this recipe for now on!

The pie was delicious, but I had to almost triple the baking time in order for the pie to not be soggy. Nonetheless, it's a great recipe, easy, and not too sweet.
