Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and brown sugar.
Cut the butter into the flour and brown sugar mixture using a pastry blender or your fingers until a crumbly texture forms. Set aside 1/2 cup of the crumb mixture for topping.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the molasses, hot brewed coffee, and baking soda until fully dissolved.
Add the boiling water to the molasses mixture and stir well.
Whisk the egg into the molasses mixture, ensuring it is fully incorporated.
Add the remaining crumb mixture (other than the reserved 1/2 cup) to the molasses mixture. Stir until smooth.
Add the salt to the mixture and stir again to combine.
Fit the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan and crimp the edges if desired.
Pour the molasses filling into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the reserved crumbs evenly over the top of the filling.
Place the pie on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the filling is set and no longer jiggles in the center.
Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing and serving to allow the flavors to develop fully.
