How to Make Sweet Potato Cobbler

  1. Peel and thinly slice 3 large sweet potatoes.
  2. In a large saucepan, cover the sliced sweet potatoes with lightly salted water (about 4 cups).
  3. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
  4. Cook for 7-10 minutes, or until tender but still firm.
  5. Drain the sweet potatoes, reserving 2 cups of the cooking liquid.
  6. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the reserved cooking liquid (2 cups), 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves.
  7. Continue stirring until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture thickens slightly.
  8. Stir in 2 tablespoons of butter until melted and incorporated.
  9. Layer the sweet potato slices in an 8x10 inch greased baking dish.
  10. Pour the syrup evenly over the sweet potatoes.
  11. Top with your favorite pie crust (about 1 1/4 cups rolled out), cut into lattice strips or squares.
  12. Brush the crust with 1 tablespoon of milk and sprinkle with 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional).
  13. Bake in a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
