Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and chop sweet potatoes into small cubes, then boil until fork-tender (about 15 minutes). Drain and mash.
In a bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and mix until smooth.
Place the pre-made crust in a greased baking dish or prepare a homemade crust by combining crushed graham crackers with melted butter.
Spread the sweet potato filling evenly over the crust.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until set; edges should pull slightly away from the pan.
Cool completely before slicing into squares and serving.
