The Best Sweet Potato Pie In The World Is Located At This Kentucky Farm Market
Despite the fact that pies come in sorts of fabulous flavors, there are a few varieties that claim a spot on the proverbial pie winner’s podium time and time again. (We’re looking at you, apple pie, cherry pie, pumpkin pie, and pecan pie!) But as any true born-and-bred Southerner can attest, pumpkin pie isn’t nearly as delicious as sweet potato pie. These sweet, buttery tubers transform into caramelized, creamy filling when mixed with just a few simple ingredients. And when poured into a flakey, buttery shell and baked low and slow? It’s the stuff of our Thanksgiving dreams! Happily, you don’t have to wait until Thanksgiving to enjoy this delicacy in the Bluegrass — nor do you have to sacrifice sublime pie experience for year-round convenience. In fact, the best sweet potato pie in the world is located at the Bardstown Road Farmers’ Market, and it’s absolutely worth planning an entire weekend adventure around!
