Shoofly Pie

Ingredients

• •1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
• •1 cup all-purpose flour
• •1/2 cup light brown sugar
• •1/4 cup butter
• •1 cup molasses
• •3/4 cup boiling water
• •1 teaspoon baking soda
• •1/2 teaspoon salt
• •1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. 1Preheat oven to 375°F and place pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish.
2. 2Mix flour, brown sugar, and butter with a fork until crumbly to create the crumb topping; set aside.
3. 3In a bowl, combine molasses, baking soda, salt, and vanilla extract.
4. 4Pour boiling water into the molasses mixture and stir well.
5. 5Pour the molasses filling into the unbaked pie crust, then sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over it.
6. 6Bake for 35-40 minutes until the filling is set and the crumbs are golden brown.
7. 7Cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before serving.

💡 Shoofly pie should still have some soft movement in the centre when removed; overbaking turns the molasses filling from gooey to sticky and tough.
