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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In another medium bowl, mix the molasses with the boiling water until fully dissolved. Stir in the baking soda and let it cool slightly.

Step 4

Once the molasses mixture has cooled, whisk in the egg until fully combined.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Gently pour the remaining molasses mixture over the crumb topping, then sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture on top.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

Step 9

Slice and serve as-is or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
