Ingredients
1 9-inch unbaked pie crust
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup boiling water
1 cup unsulphured molasses
Optional: whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving
Directions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, light brown sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Set aside 1 cup of the crumb mixture for the topping and press the remaining mixture into the bottom of the pie crust.
Dissolve the baking soda in the boiling water. Stir in the molasses until well combined.
Pour the molasses mixture over the crumb mixture in the pie crust. Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture evenly on top.
Bake the pie for 10 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (180°C) and continue baking for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set.
Allow the pie to cool before slicing and serving. Top each slice with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
