Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400° and line a 9-inch deep pie pan with pie crust and set aside.

   

For Filling:

1. Beat one large egg and set aside.

2. In a saucepan, dissolve baking powder in boiling water over medium heat.

3. Turn off heat and stir in molasses then quickly whisk in the beaten egg.

   

For Topping:

1. In a separate mixing bow. Combine flour, brown sugar, and salt.

2. Cut in butter with a fork until the mixture resembles small pebbles.

   

3. Place 1/3 of the crumbs on the bottom of the prepared pie crust then pour molasses filling into the prepared pie crust.

4. Sprinkle crumb mixture over molasses mixture.

   

5. Bake for 15 minutes at 400°.

6. Reduce oven temperature to 350° and continue baking for about 35 to 40 minutes, until filling is set. (Use foil to protect the edges of the crust from over-browning If needed.)

7. Cool thoroughly before serving. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream topping if desired.

Recipe Note

Add a bottom layer of crumbs for most crunch and to make sure the bottom doesn't get soggy.

Make sure to turn heat off after adding the molasses to the boiled water.

Use foil to protect the edges of the crust from over-browning after reducing heat to 350° as needed.
