This seasonal dessert is much more than sweet potato pie with pecans on it. It’s two pies combined into one! There's one layer of pecan filling over a layer of sweet potato filling, so you can have the best of both worlds. If you are looking for a pie comparable to the ones your grandma served up every year during the holidays, here it is.
