There’s nothing like the smell of freshly baked pie. This Southern favorite recipe is made with a few simple ingredients and perfect for the holiday season. We used canned sweet potato purée to cut the prep time which also makes it easier if you are making pie from scratch for the first time. Feel free to substitute sweet potatoes for a can of pumpkin. You can’t go wrong with any type of pie!
