This could also be called "Crossroads and Lighthouse Pie", and was baked to celebrate the recent commencement exercises at Notre Dame. We here at Pie and Policy believe there is nothing more anti-pie than identity politics, and so we offer deep-dish support to those who seek and encourage constructive engagement.
Now, off the soap box and into the kitchen.
Ingredients:
1 whole wheat crust, rolled as thin as possible
~2 C baked sweet potato flesh, not skins
1/3 C brown sugar
1/8 T cinnamon
1/8 T nutmeg
2 whole eggs
2T butter, melted
7/8 C 2% milk -> put the butter in the cup measure and fill the rest with milk
Procedure:
(1) Get the crust into a standard 9" pie dish. Preheat the oven to 350F.
(2) Puree the sweet potato in a food processor, add the sugar and spices and blend some more, then add the eggs, butter and milk. Process until smooth.
(3) Pour the puree into the pie shell, and place the center rack for about 45min. Once the sides have start to puff a little and the center is still a bit wiggly, pull it out. Let cool for a couple hours before serving.

Sounds yummy . . . I'll have to try this one sometime soon. I have definitely not been living up to my pie-making potential of late!
