Notes

For a smoother texture, you can use a food processor to blend the sweet potato mixture until creamy. If you prefer a spicier pie, increase the cinnamon and nutmeg according to your taste. To ensure your crust stays crisp, consider blind baking the pie crust for a few minutes before adding the filling.
