Sweet Potato Pie Goodness



I wanted to share my sweet potato pie recipe with you all. The one I've been consuming so much of since I returned home from Minnesota. I got the recipe from my mother-in-law several years ago. I don't know much about sweet potato pie in general but I understand the topping in this recipe is not usual, but certainly is wonderful. Enjoy!

4 or 5 medium sweet potatoes
1/2 C brown sugar
1/2 to 3/4 stick of butter - softened
1 tsp cinnamon
3 or 4 slightly beaten eggs

Beat with a mixer, cooked sweet potatoes, sugar, eggs, spice & butter until smooth. Pour into unbaked pie shell.

Topping
3 or 4 TBLS butter - softened
1/2 C sugar
2 C Corn Flakes

Combine the butter, sugar and corn flakes in a separate bowl. Cover the pie mixture with the topping and bake at 350 degree for 40-45 minutes.
