Crustless Sweet Potato Pie {a classic way to use leftover sweet potatoes + gluten free option}

Crustless Sweet Potato Pie , basically a sweet potato pie that has no crust.  It falls into the category of the famous Impossible Pies that was the rage from the introduction of Bisquick in the 80's.   This past weekend I wanted to try out an idea I had with some leftover sweet potatoes.  As Thanksgiving is approaching, I know this recipe is going to come in handy.
