SWEET-POTATO PIE WITH GINGERSNAP PECAN CRUST
In many sweet-potato pies, the ginger and spices overwhelm the flavor of the potatoes. This version plays to the flavor of the tubers; a little spicy nuttiness from the gingersnap pecan crust just emphasizes the pie's luscious creaminess. It is perfectly normal for the surface of a custardy pie, like this one, to crack in the course of baking and cooling-the pie will taste no less delicious.

Steps:
- Make crust:
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour pie plate, knocking out excess flour.
- Toss together all crust ingredients in a bowl with a fork until crumbs are moistened, then press evenly over bottom and up side of pie plate. Bake crust 6 minutes, then cool on a rack.
- Make filling:
- Increase oven temperature to 400°F.
- Prick each sweet potato once with a fork. Roast in a foil-lined shallow baking pan until tender, about 1 hour. Remove from oven and reduce oven temperature to 375°F. Halve potatoes lengthwise and cool.
- While potatoes cool, cook sugar in a dry 8-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, undisturbed, until it begins to melt. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally with a fork, until sugar melts into a deep golden caramel. Remove from heat. Carefully pour water down side of skillet (mixture will bubble and steam vigorously), then return to heat and simmer, stirring, until hardened caramel is completely dissolved. Remove from heat.
- When potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel, then cut away any eyes or dark spots. Purée potatoes in a food processor until smooth, then add eggs, cinnamon, and salt and blend until smooth. Add milk, caramel, rum, and vanilla, and blend until combined well.
- Pour filling into crust. Bake until filling 2 inches from edge is slightly puffed and center trembles slightly when gently shaken, 40 to 50 minutes (top may crack; filling will continue to set as it cools). If the crust begins to brown too much before the filling is done, crimp a ring of foil or use a pie shield to protect it. Cool pie on rack about 1 hour.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
HOLIDAY GINGER SNAP CRUST
This is a tasty and flavorful twist to a regular graham cracker pie crust, and is great for the holidays. Tastes really good with cheesecake, especially pumpkin or sweet potato cheesecake. I love it, and I'm sure you'll love it too.

GINGERSNAP PECAN PIE CRUST
Great flavor addition to pies such as custard, sweet potato, yam, pumpkin or carrot. Not a flaky crust, this turns out more crisp the first day of serving and softens as time allows. I've paired this recipe with my Sweet Carrot Pecan Pie and had very delicious results-- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Crust: Turn on the oven to 325°F.
- In a bowl, combine the butter and cookie crumbs until evenly coated. Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie plate. Press it harder. Go back again and press the whole bit harder against the sides and bottom of the plate. Slide it into the oven. Bake for 10 minutes. Go zest and squeeze your limes (not a metaphor). Once the crust is done, take it out and cool it on a rack for 10 minutes.
- Filling: In the bowl of your electric mixer, throw in the milk, yolks, and lime juice. Turn on low until its all mixed together. Add the zest and turn on low until you see the flecks throughout the mixture.
- Pour the filling into the crust. Bake for 25-30 minutes. You're looking for a solid center with no wiggle.
- Cool the pie down a bit, between another 20-30 minutes. Then throw it in the refrigerator for 2 hours at least.
- Serve with unsweetened whipped cream and a slice of lime zest if you're feeling fancy.
