Shoofly Pie

This pie is very rich--you only need a sliver to be satisfied!

1 3/4 C all-purpose flour
3 T cold butter, cut into small pieces
3/4 C light brown sugar
1 t. baking soda
3/4 C boiling water
3/4 C molasses
1 egg, lightly beaten
I prepared pie crust

Preheat the oven to 375F. Gently placed the prepared pie dough into a 9-inch pie plate, trimming off any excess. In a food processor, combine flour, butter and brown sugar. In a bowl, combine baking soda with the boiling water. Whisk to dissolve. Whisk in molasses and egg until well combined.

Fill the crust with the molasses mixture, then evenly sprinkle the crumb mixture over the top surface. Some of the crumb mixture will sink into the filling. Bake the pie 45 to 55 minutes, or until set in the middle. Let cool 1 hour. Serve warm, or at room temperature.
