Hi Joy, I have really good time since I found your blog and recipe. Today i made sweet potato pie and crust came out kind of hard,,like cookie or tart shell,,,I guess it may cause of pie pan it self better to use for tart however it was shortage of pylex in my kitchen.
Do you think it is the main reason of hard shell? (I mean glass pie pan or non stick tart pan )
or anything I should know extra to do to make little bit moist??
One more thing,, could you post your perfect tart recipe??
(I know I’m going to love it!!)

This is wonderful. I’m not sure why everyone is so skeptical of the coriander? I really loved the crust! I made 2 slightly less full pies with this recipe. I will be making again tonight and trying to make about 1/3 more filling so the 2 are more full. Some of the measurements were a little difficult to do that math on, but I think it’s gonna be good.

Sweet potato, cinnamon, no-roll crust, … this is pie heaven !!
Thanks for sharing (and thanks to Dad as well !)

BTW “1/2 granulated sugar” in the filling ingredients, I guess that means “1/2 *CUP* granulated sugar”, yes?

This is the best Sweet Potato Pie I have ever tasted!!! My husband WON”T eat pumpkin and I am always looking for a sweet potato recipe. I did a trial run on the Monday before Thanksgiving…. we ate half of the pie while it was still warm. I was a little skeptical at first about using coriander but it goes perfectly, and I considered cutting back on the sugar because it seemed a little too sweet. The next day when we had more of the pie it was perfect… just sweet enough, maybe because it had cooled. Thanksgiving morning I made 2 more and everyone LOVED, LOVED, LOVED it. We made a lot of sweet potato converts that day. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful recipe.

Hi Joy!
Baked this yesterday and within 10 minutes of cutting the first slice half of it was gone. Most of it into my belly, in fact, though the rest of the family helped somewhat. Thank you so much, it tastes amazing! However, I did have one issue, which is that the centre of the crust was soggy…is this a problem with my oven or with the way I made my crust?

Joy, the crust was amazing. I hate rolling pie crust and I hate the lard and fat and unpronounceable stuff in the store bought crusts. This no roll crust is the best! With pumpkin pie – outstanding! With apple pie and a crumb crust – absolutely delicious! Thank you.
