Harvest Sweet Potato Pie image

Years ago, we baked pies a few days before holiday gatherings and placed them in a tall pie safe on our back porch. My father called this sweet potato pie recipe "royal pie," because he thought it was fit for a king. It's a treasured hand-me-down family recipe. -Fae Fisher, Callao, Virginia

I love that this recipe uses maple syrup instead of sugar. It gives the pie a delicious, natural sweetness.

This pie is the perfect combination of sweet and savory. The crust is salty and flaky, and the filling is sweet and creamy.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pie turned out dry and crumbly.

The filling was a little too sweet for my taste, but the crust was perfect.
