Ingredients:
- 4 cups sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 unbaked pie crusts
- 2 cups water
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Cook the sweet potatoes: In a large pot, combine the sweet potatoes, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and simmer until the sweet potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes.
- Add the butter and vanilla: Once the sweet potatoes are tender, stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract.
- Assemble the cobbler: Pour half of the sweet potato mixture into the prepared baking dish. Top with one of the unbaked pie crusts, trimming the edges to fit. Pour the remaining sweet potato mixture over the crust, then top with the second pie crust, trimming the edges and cutting slits for steam to escape.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
Conclusion and Tips: This sweet potato cobbler is a comforting and delicious dessert that brings the cozy flavors of sweet potatoes to your table. For an added twist, try sprinkling chopped pecans on top of the sweet potato mixture before adding the crust. If you prefer a spicier flavor, increase the amount of cinnamon and nutmeg.
