Step 6: Place the pan inside the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean after inserting it in the middle.

Notes:

Refer to the directions provided on the pack of the pie crust.

Make sure to allow it to cool before serving for the best results.

I like to make this pie the night before I serve it. It tastes better that way. If you want to do it as well, just place the pie inside the fridge to chill and serve it in the morning. Yum!

Make sure not to boil the sweet potatoes or it will become soggy.
