Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch crust Unbaked pie crust
- 1 cup Molasses
- 0.75 cup Hot water
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges if desired and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the molasses, hot water, and baking soda. Stir until fully dissolved and set aside to cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and salt. Mix well.
Cut the butter into small cubes and use your fingers or a pastry blender to work it into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour the molasses mixture into the prepared pie crust.
Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the molasses filling. Be sure to cover the filling completely.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the topping is golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. The filling will firm up further as it cools.
Serve at room temperature or chilled. Enjoy a slice on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream!
