Create, Cook, and Talk: Sweet Potato Pie
Our sweet potato pie is made with microwave sweet potatoes. It is full of rich texture, flavor, and delicate blends of spices (cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger). It is also easy enough for parents to help their beginner bakers to make.
Enjoy, and if you make these, be sure to share some photos with us.
