Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Light brown sugar
- 1 cup Molasses
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 Large egg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 9-inch Pre-made pie crust
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, light brown sugar, and salt. Cut in the unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This will be the crumb topping. Set aside.
In another medium bowl, mix the molasses with the boiling water until fully dissolved. Stir in the baking soda and let it cool slightly.
Once the molasses mixture has cooled, whisk in the egg until fully combined.
Take the prepared pie crust and pour half of the molasses mixture into the pie shell. Sprinkle half of the crumb mixture evenly over the molasses filling.
Gently pour the remaining molasses mixture over the crumb topping, then sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture on top.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the pie is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
Slice and serve as-is or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
