  • Combine sweet potatoes, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon stick, and water to cover in a medium pot over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until sweet potatoes are barely tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat, discard cinnamon stick, and strain potatoes. Allow potatoes to cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch pie plate, baking dish, or casserole dish of your choice.
  • Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt for crust in a mixing bowl. Cut cold butter into the mixture until crumbly. Stir in egg and vanilla.
  • Combine warm potatoes, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and cornstarch in a separate bowl; mix until thoroughly combined. Spoon filling into the prepared pie plate and spoon crust mixture over top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly, about 35 minutes.
