Super Yummy Five-Spice Sweet Potato Pie, very tasty!! 

Chinese 5-spice powder is a blend of fennel, star anise, cloves, cinnamon and Sichuan peppers. Five-Spice Sweet Potato Pie is a comfort food because of its simplicity yet complex delicious flavors that with every bite invokes a pleasurable experience that reminds me of all the great seasonal flavors that come with fall weather. This creamy sweet potato pie is subtly spiced and slices beautifully!

This homemade sweet potato pie is sweetened solely with dark brown sugar and flavored with warm fall spices, so you already know it’s good! It sits atop a buttery homemade pie crust and is a true Southern favorite. This definitely deserves a place on your Thanksgiving menu!

Sweet potato pie is a traditional dessert, originating in the Southern United States. It is often served during the American holiday season, especially at Thanksgiving, and is similar in many ways to pumpkin pie. I suggest baking up a few sweet potato pies around the holidays to give to friends and family.

Sweet potato pies are essentially baked custard pies, so they should be stored in the refrigerator. After baking your pie, let it cool completely for two to four hours. Loosely cover the pie with aluminum foil before refrigerating for up to four days.
