this is a photo of one of my sweet potato pies that i make around Thanksgiving and Christmas. this actual crust is store bought i dont have any pictures of the homeade. soon as i make one ill post it. before you fill this crust with pie filling, fork it and bake for 5 minutes. dont let it brown just so it wont be doughy and undone under all that good pie filling
