1️⃣ Prep Sweet Potatoes: Start by baking or boiling the sweet potatoes until tender. After cooking, peel and thoroughly mash them.
2️⃣ Preheat Oven & Prep Pie Shells: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pre-bake the pie shells slightly to prevent them from becoming soggy.
3️⃣ Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, blend the mashed sweet potatoes with nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, vanilla and lemon extracts, evaporated milk, sugars, eggs, and butter. Whisk the mixture until it is smooth and free of lumps.
4️⃣ Fill Pie Shells: Evenly distribute the filling into the pie shells if using two, or fill the deep dish shell completely.
5️⃣ Bake: Place the pies in the oven and bake for about 50 minutes, or until the filling is firm and the pies are fully set.
6️⃣ Serve: Allow the pies to cool before serving to let the flavors develop fully.
