Ingredients

  • 3/4 C. all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 C. whole wheat flour
  • 2 Tbs. granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/4 C. peanut oil
  • 3 Tbs. water ice
  • 27 oz. sweet potatoes peeled and mashed

  • 1/4 C. granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp. brandy
  • 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 dash mace

Directions

To prepare crust, in small bowl, whisk together all-purpose and whole-wheat flours, sugar, salt and cinnamon. Add oil; work in with fingers, until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in ice water, 1 Tbs. at a time, until mixture forms soft dough. Gather dough into a ball; wrap in

plastic wrap. Refrigerate 1 hour, until chilled. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roll dough between 2 sheets of wax paper into a 9" circle. Fit dough into an 8" deep-dish pie plate, pressing to form a stand-up rim. Refrigerate while making filling.

To prepare filling, in large bowl, combine sweet potatoes, milk, egg substitute, sugar, vanilla, brandy, pumpkin pie spice and mace. Spoon filling into crust; bake 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 325 degrees.; bake until filling is firm, 80-90 minutes. Cool completely on wire rack 1 hour before cutting into 12 wedges.
