5. Pour in the evaporated milk and melted butter, stirring until everything is well blended.

6. Add the vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the filling.

7. Carefully pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

8. Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted comes out mostly clean.

9. Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before slicing. This helps the filling firm up perfectly 🍰.
