Ingredients

• 2 large sweet potatoes
• 1 cup canned pineapple chunks
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 pie crust, unbaked
• 0 optional whipped cream (optional for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into large chunks. Place the chunks in a pot of boiling water and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until tender. Drain and let cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, mash the sweet potatoes until smooth. Alternatively, you can use a food processor for a smoother consistency.

Step 4

Add the canned pineapple chunks (drain them first) to the sweet potatoes and mash lightly, leaving some small chunks of pineapple for texture.

Step 5

Mix in granulated sugar, melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.

Step 6

Roll out the unbaked pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess crust and crimp the edges decoratively.

Step 7

Pour the sweet potato and pineapple filling into the prepared pie crust, smoothing out the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Place the pie on the center rack in the preheated oven. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Step 10

Serve with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy!
