Sweet Potato Pie

This recipe is from allrecipes, which is my go-to source for the best versions of classic recipes. They aren't even paying me to say that, I promise. I added a couple of spices but kept the recipe basically the same. I think this pie is even better than pumpkin pie.

Here's a link to the original recipe; keep scrolling for the directions!
