Instructions
In a food processor, combine the flour, sugar and salt; cover and pulse to blend.
Add the butter, soda and vinegar; cover and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
While processing, gradually add water just until moist crumbs form. Shape into a disk; wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until easy to handle.
Roll out pastry to fit a 9-in. deep-dish pie plate.
Transfer pastry to pie plate. Trim pastry to 1/2 in. beyond edge of plate; flute edges.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, sweet potatoes, milk, sugar, brown sugar, butter, orange peel, cinnamon, vanilla, salt, cloves and allspice until blended.
Bake at 400 for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a food processor, combine the cookies, butter, sugar and flour. Cover and pulse until coarse crumbs form; sprinkle over pie. Cover edges of pastry loosely with foil.
Bake 15-20 minutes longer or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
In a small bowl, beat cream until it begins to thicken.
Add sugar and maple syrup; beat until stiff peaks form.
Serve with pie. Refrigerate leftovers.
Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Sparkling Wine, Port, Riesling, Moscato Dasti, Zinfandel
Cream Sherry, Sparkling Wine, and Port are great choices for Sweet Potato Pie. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. The NV Solera Cream Sherry with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 17 dollars per bottle.

NV Solera Cream Sherry
The Solera Cream Sherry has a brilliant amber and deep copper hue. With butterscotch and pecan aromas, the sweet salted nut and brown spice aromas carry a complex caramel accent. A sweet entry leads to a rounded, lush, moderately full-bodied palate with a lengthy, flavorful finish.
