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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges if desired and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine the molasses, hot water, and baking soda. Stir until fully dissolved and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and salt. Mix well.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Pour the molasses mixture into the prepared pie crust.

Step 7

Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the molasses filling. Be sure to cover the filling completely.

Step 8

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the topping is golden brown.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Serve at room temperature or chilled. Enjoy a slice on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream!
