Steps:

  • In a food processor, combine the flour, sugar and salt; cover and pulse to blend. Add the butter, soda and vinegar; cover and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. While processing, gradually add water just until moist crumbs form. Shape into a disk; wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until easy to handle. Roll out pastry to fit a 9-in. deep-dish pie plate. Transfer pastry to pie plate. Trim pastry to 1/2 in. beyond edge of plate; flute edges.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, sweet potatoes, milk, sugar, brown sugar, butter, orange peel, cinnamon, vanilla, salt, cloves and allspice until blended. Pour into crust. Bake at 400° for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a food processor, combine the cookies, butter, sugar and flour. Cover and pulse until coarse crumbs form; sprinkle over pie. Cover edges of pastry loosely with foil. Bake 15-20 minutes longer or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. In a small bowl, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add sugar and maple syrup; beat until stiff peaks form. Serve with pie. Refrigerate leftovers.
