Directions

1 Heat oven to 400°F. Wash and pierce sweet potatoes. Place on rimmed baking sheet. Bake 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature, about 1 hour. Cut lengthwise in half; scoop out inside; discard skins. Mash sweet potatoes until no lumps remain.
2 Combine dried cranberries and hot water. Set aside until ready to put into the streusel.
3 Turn oven temperature down to 350°F.
4 Unroll and place crust into ungreased deep-dish 9-inch glass pie plate. Crimp edges. Combine remaining crust ingredients. Press in bottom and about 1/2 inch up side of pie crust. Bake 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely on cooling rack, about 30 minutes.
5 Beat all filling ingredients except molasses, eggs, cream and sweet potatoes together in large bowl with whisk. Beat in 1 1/2 cups mashed sweet potatoes, molasses and eggs. Beat in cream. Pour mixture into cooled crust. Place pie on middle oven rack; place sheet of foil on rack below pie in case of spillover. Bake about 40 minutes or until filling is set around edges.
6 Drain cranberries. Stir in remaining streusel ingredients. Gently sprinkle streusel around edge of crust. Bake for an additional 20 minutes or until set.
7 Remove from oven and let cool completely on cooling rack, about 3 hours.

I LOVE this pie-there should be a 6th star! I somehow managed to forget several of the ingredients so I substituted some things (you tend to get inventive when you're desperate)the night before Thanksgiving and it still came out great! I simplified the crust and used just the gingersnap/pecan crust-very nice. (Just be careful-it can over cook easily) Anyway...give this a try, you won't be disappointed!

Oops - I did find instructions for them when I read it again.

Did I miss something in the instructions? I did not see any reference to the ginger snaps and other ingredients in the instructions for the crust.
