Directions:Prepare Peanut Pie Crust; set aside.
Preheat oven to 375ºF. Line a baking sheet with foil. Place sweet potatoes on prepared baking sheet. Bake about 1 hour or until fork tender. Remove from oven; cool. Peel sweet potatoes; discard skin. Transfer to a food processor. Cover and process until smooth. Make 2 cups.
For filling, in a large bowl combine sweet potato and pumpkin purees, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir to combine. Add eggs; beat lightly until combined. Stir in buttermilk and cream.
Pour filling into prepared crust. Cover edge of pie crust with foil. Bake for 50 minutes. Remove foil. Bake 20 minutes more or until center jiggles slightly when gently shaken. Cool on a wire rack at least 30 minutes. Cover and chill for 4 to 24 hours before serving. To serve, sprinkle with Streusel Crunch.
Peanut Pie Crust: Place flour, salt and peanuts in the bowl of a food processor. Cover; pulse to combine. Add butter. Pulse until pieces are pea-size. With processor running, pour in ice water, 1 Tbsp at a time, until dough just starts to come together. Gather mixture in a ball, kneading gently until it holds together. Slightly flatten pastry on a lightly floured surface. Roll from center to edges into a circle about 13 inches in diameter. Wrap pastry around rolling pin; unroll into a 10-inch deep-dish pie plate, easing it in without stretching. Trim to 1/2 inch beyond edge of pie plate. Fold extra pastry under. Crimp as desired.
Streusel Crunch: Preheat oven to 250ºF. Line a baking sheet with foil; set aside. In a small bowl combine cheese crackers, chopped peanuts, melted butter, and brown sugar. Stir to coat. Spread on prepared baking sheet. Bake 25 minutes, stirring halfway through. Remove from oven; cool completely. |
