If you do not like a sweet pie then this is not the pie for you. This recipe was inspired by my Aunt Nadine. She would make her pie with a graham cracker crust. Yummy!!

Ingredients

• 3 pounds sweet potatoes
• 2 1/2 cups sugar -- to taste
• 1 teaspoon nutmeg

• 3 graham cracker crusts or frozen deep dish pie crusts, thawed

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Boil sweet potatoes (with peel on) until they are tender and falling apart.
