2. Bake: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Bake the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork.

3. Scoop and Mix: Once the sweet potatoes are baked, remove them from the oven. Carefully cut each potato lengthwise into halves, then scoop the pulp into a mixing bowl.

4. Combine Ingredients: To the sweet potato pulp, add half of the butter, followed by the milk and salt. Beat the mixture until it becomes light and fluffy, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.

5. Fill and Bake Again: Fill the sweet potato shells with the fluffy potato mixture. Return the filled shells to the oven for further baking.

6. Prepare the Topping: While the filled potatoes are baking, prepare the topping. Cream together the remaining butter, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth and creamy. Fold in the almonds gently.

7. Add Topping: Once the topping mixture is ready, place a generous dollop of it onto each sweet potato half.

8. Final Bake: Return the sweet potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional five minutes or until the topping is melted and lightly golden.

9. Serve and Enjoy: Once baked to perfection, serve these Sweet Potato Puffs hot and savor the delightful combination of flavors and textures.
