Helpful Tips

For a richer flavor, try adding a tablespoon of maple syrup to the pie filling. If you prefer a crunchier texture, sprinkle some chopped pecans on top before baking. Beginners will find it helpful to use canned pumpkin puree and canned sweet potatoes for convenience. This pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to four days. To enjoy it warm, simply reheat slices in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.

Pairings

This Pumpkin-Sweet Potato Pie pairs beautifully with a hot cup of spiced chai tea or a glass of mulled wine.
