This is so good. I could eat the whole thing myself.
Use a 9" pie dish or an 8"x8" glass casserole.
Mix the following well, and put in the pie dish.
1 29 oz can sweet potatoes, drained of liquid and mashed well (I use 40 oz. can works just as well)
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup melted margarine or butter (I use less)
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 egg
Topping:
1 sleeve Ritz crackers, crushed (original calls for 1 heaping cup but I use more)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 stick melted margarine or butter (I use 3/4)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts ( I use more)
Mix the topping ingredients well - I use my hands.
Spread over top of pie - try not to taste because if you're like me, there won't be enough left for the pie.
Bake for 30 minutes at 325-350.
Can also be made in advance, kept in fridge for a day or two before baking, and reheats well. Bake a little longer if put in oven cold.
