sweet potato pie<\/strong>
\n from epicurious.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

crust<\/strong>
\n 1\/3 cup walnuts, toasted
\n 1\/3 cup hazelnuts, toasted
\n 1\/3 cup almonds, toasted
\n 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
\n 1\/4 cup brown sugar
\n 1\/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
\n 5 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted<\/p>\n

filling<\/strong>
\n 18 oz sweet potatoes
\n 3 eggs
\n 3 Tbsp butter
\n 1\/2 cup brown sugar
\n 2 Tbsp honey
\n 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
\n 1\/2 cup whipping cream<\/p>\n

topping<\/strong> (optional)
\n 1\/4 cup (1\/2 stick) butter
\n 1\/4 cup brown sugar
\n 2 Tbsp honey
\n 1\/3 cup whole almonds, toasted
\n 1\/3 cup whole hazelnuts, toasted
\n 1\/3 cup walnuts, toasted<\/p>\n

1. make the crust: coarsely grind all nuts in processor. blend in graham cracker crumbs, sugar and pumpkin pie spice. add butter and blend in using on\/off turns until moist crumbs form. press crumbs onto bottom and sides of 9-inch deep-dish pie dish. set aside.<\/p>\n

2. make the filling: preheat oven to 350 F. bake sweet potatoes until tender, about 1 hour. cool potatoes; peel and puree in processor. transfer to bowl and whisk in eggs. cook butter in heavy medium skillet over medium heat until melted and brown. add sugar, honey and pumpkin pie spice and boil 1 minute, stirring constantly. whisk in cream. add butter mixture to potato puree; blend until smooth.<\/p>\n

3. pour filling into crust. bake at 350 F until center moves only slightly when pan is shaken, covering with foil if crust browns too quickly, about 40 minutes.<\/p>\n

4. meanwhile, make the topping: stir first 3 ingredients in heavy medium saucepan over low heat until sugar dissolves. increase heat and boil 1 minute. mix in nuts, coating completely.<\/p>\n

5. take the pie out of the oven, spoon on the hot nut mixture if you’ve made it, and continue baking until topping bubbles, about 5 minutes. transfer to rack and cool completely.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
