Sweet Potato Pie
This is a great alternative to pumpkin pie! It can easily be made gluten free and dairy free by making a gluten free pie crust and substituting dairy alternatives for the butter and milk.

1 9 Inch Pie
Ingredients
1 pie crust (9 inch, unbaked)
1 pound sweet potato (1-2)
1⁄2 cup butter (softened)

1⁄2 cup milk
2 egg
1⁄2 teaspoon nutmeg, ground
1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Boil sweet potato whole in skin 40-50 minutes. Put in bowl of cold water and remove skin. Break apart sweet potato in bowl. Add butter and mix well.

The pie will puff up, then sink as it cools.
