Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized sweet potatoes

• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 1/3 cup white sugar
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 stick (1/2 cup) real butter, melted
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 tablespoon good vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon allspice
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Frozen pie shells

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2: Bake the Sweet Potatoes

1. Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
2. Once baked, allow the sweet potatoes to cool slightly, then peel them.

Step 3: Prepare the Filling

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, beaten eggs, vanilla extract, melted butter, and honey. Stir until well combined.
2. Add the light brown sugar, white sugar, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, and allspice. Mix well to incorporate all the ingredients.
3. Add the peeled sweet potatoes one at a time to the bowl. Mix at low speed for several minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Prepare the Pie Shells

1. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
2. Poke the bottom of the frozen pie shells with a fork to prevent them from puffing up during baking.
3. Place the pie shells in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes.

Step 5: Assemble and Bake the Pies

1. Remove the pie shells from the oven and carefully fill them with the sweet potato mixture.
