Print Recipe

Warm, molasses-scented Shoofly Pie with a buttery crumb topping, offering a nostalgic dessert experience.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (9-inch) refrigerated pie crust
  • 1 cup molasses
  • 3/4 cup boiling water
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter (softened)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F and spray a 9-inch deep dish pie pan with nonstick spray.
  2. Press the pie crust evenly into the pie pan, crimping the edges to seal.
  3. Mix the molasses with boiling water in a large bowl until combined. Add the beaten egg, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg; stir well.
  4. Pour the molasses mixture into the prepared crust, smoothing the top.
  5. Combine flour and brown sugar in another bowl. Work in softened butter until crumbly.
  6. Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the molasses filling.
  7. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake for 40 minutes until set.
  8. Let the pie rest for about 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Use a room temperature egg for a smooth filling. Store any leftovers at room temperature for up to 2 days.
