Sweet Potato Apple Pie

Omg, yum! Not the most healthy, but yum!

Ingredients:
-2 cups of sliced apples
-1 pie crust
-1 very large sweet potato (the kind that make you blush a little when you hold it!), mashed
-1 1/4 c cream
-2 eggs
-2/3 c brown sugar
1 t cinnamon (I like cinnamon, so I just dumped a few teaspoons in)
1/4 t salt
1/4 t nutmeg (again, probably dumped in closer to 1 T, because nutmeg is nummy)

Directions:
-Preheat to 375
-Line the pie crust in the plate, lay the apple slices along the bottom.
-Mix the other ingredients together (it's best to do this right after the potato has been mashed), stir until smooth.
-Pour sweet potato mix over apples
-Cover the edges with tinfoil
-Bake for 45-60 minutes, until a knife poked into the center comes out clean.

I also added about a tablespoon of powdered corn starch between the crust and apples to keep it from getting soggy.
