Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking dish with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Place sweet potatoes in the prepared baking dish. Bake until easily pierced with a fork and skins loosen, approximately 30 to 45 minutes. Let the potatoes cool completely, then peel off and discard the skins. Transfer the cooked potato flesh to a mixing bowl.
Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes thoroughly. With an electric mixer, beat in sugar, evaporated milk, butter, corn syrup, eggs, flour, vanilla extract, apple pie spice, and salt until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Pour the sweet potato batter into your prepared pie crust. Any excess batter can be saved for another baking project.
Bake in the preheated oven until the pie is nicely set and the crust turns a beautiful golden brown, about 45 to 50 minutes.
