Ingredients

Dough

  • 1 1/4 cups Gold Medal™ All-Purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup ice water

Sweet Potato Filling

  • 2 lb fresh sweet potato purée or 2 cans (15 oz each)
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder
  • 3/4 cup evaporated milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Apple Filling

  • 3 red apples
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder

Marshmallow Meringue

  • 3 egg whites
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 jar (7 oz) marshmallow cream

Directions

  •  
    1
    Prepare the dough: Combine the flour, salt and sugar in a large bowl. Stir with a fork and add the butter (cut into small chunks). Mix everything together until you have a sandy consistency and all the flour has been combined with the butter. Gradually add the water, which should be very cold. Stir until you have a dough. Don’t knead it. Once it becomes a dough, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  •  
    2
    Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  •  
    3
    Use a rolling pin to extend the dough on a floured surface until you have the right diameter to line your pie pan. Fold into 4 and transfer to the pan. Place a layer of beans on the bottom to keep the dough from puffing up while it cooks. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until it’s slightly golden brown.
  •  
    4
    Prepare the sweet potato filling: Place all the ingredients in the food processor and pulse until everything is incorporated.
  •  
    5
    Place the sweet potato filling over the pre-baked dough and bake for 50 minutes or until the mixture is firm.
  •  
    6
    Let it cool on an oven rack for 2 hours or overnight.
  •  
    7
    Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  •  
    8
    Peel and cut the apples into pieces or slices. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the apples and cinnamon and let it cook for 8-10 minutes until lightly cooked, not soft. Arrange a layer of apples over the sweet potato pie.
  •  
    9
    Prepare the marshmallow meringue: With a whisk, beat the egg whites and a pinch of salt at high speed until foamy. Lower the speed to medium and add the sugar in a steady stream. Increase the speed to high and continue beating for about 5-8 minutes, until the meringue is white and silky.
  •  
    10
    In another large bowl, combine 1/3 of the meringue with the marshmallow cream, stirring in a circular motion. Add the rest of the meringue and use a spatula to mix everything together thoroughly and gently.
  •  
    11
    Use a pastry bag to distribute the meringue mixture over the pie. Bake for 4-5 minutes until the edges of the meringue are golden brown. Keep an eye on it at all times, as it can burn in a matter of seconds.
  •  
    12
    Let it cool prior to slicing, and serve.

Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    To make the sweet potato purée, wash the sweet potatoes, poke several times with a knife and bake at 375°F for 60-75 minutes, until you can easily pierce through with a fork. Let it cool.
  • tip 2
    You can buy the dough and bake it according to package directions.
  • tip 3
    You can make the dough and bake it up to 2 days prior to serving.
  • tip 4
    You can make the pie the day before; keep it refrigerated and covered.
  • tip 5
    If you wish, you may add more spices, replace some, or add cardamom or ginger, depending on your family’s preference.
  • tip 6
    If you'd rather not use a pastry bag, you can simply place tablespoons of meringue until you have covered the pie.
