For a richer flavor, try using brown butter instead of melted butter. Simply cook the butter over medium heat until it turns a nutty brown color. If you prefer a smoother pie, use an immersion blender to blend the sweet potato mixture before pouring it into the crusts. A pinch of cinnamon or ginger can add a warm, comforting note to the pie.
