1
Prepare the Crust
In a medium bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, finely chopped pecans, brown sugar, melted butter, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined.
2
Form the Crust
Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan evenly. Use your hands or a flat-bottomed measuring cup to create an even layer.
3
Bake the Crust
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until slightly firm. Remove from the oven and let it cool.
