Ingredients

Pastry for single-crust pie (9 inches)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup caramel ice cream topping, warmed
3 eggs
1 cup mashed sweet potato
1 cup apple butter
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
Whipped cream and additional caramel ice cream topping

Directions

Line a 9-in. pie plate with pastry; trim and flute edges. Sprinkle with walnuts and drizzle with ice cream topping. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, sweet potato, apple butter, brown sugar, milk, vanilla, salt and spices until blended. Pour into pastry.
Bake at 400° for 50-55 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Cover edges with foil during the last 15 minutes to prevent overbrowning if necessary. Cool on a wire rack.
Garnish with whipped cream and additional ice cream topping. Refrigerate leftovers.

I made this pie last night and it is EXCELLENT! Light and fluffy and the spices are just right! Unusual twist with the caramel and walnuts on the bottom. I would increase the walnuts to 3/4 cup.

Pie was good. The taste is similar to pumpkin.
