Pie # 21: Sweet Potato Pie (with cinnamon roll crust)

I have never eaten sweet potato pie. We'll find out tomorrow if I like it :) From what I understand, sweet potato pie tastes very similar to pumpkin pie. This recipe came with the Cinnamon Roll Crust recipe that was pinned on Pinterest - I can't wait to sample it after dinner!
