* To make a flax egg, combine 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons water. Let it sit for 10 minutes to create a gel.
The meringue topping is completely optional. The pie will be just as delicious without it.
TO MAKE AHEAD: Save on time and stress this holiday season by making the pie dough and mashed sweet potatoes ahead of time. The pie dough can be wrapped in a layer of plastic and stored in the fridge for 1 week or kept frozen for up to 3 months. Store the mashed potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days ahead of time.
TO STORE: Cover the baked and cooled pie or individual slices in a layer of plastic and store in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
TO FREEZE: You can freeze the pie (without the meringue) for up to 3 months.
