Ingredients
- One 9 inch prepared pie crust (unbaked)
- ¾ cup hot water
- ½ cup molasses
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 large egg (lightly beaten)
- 1 cup flour
- ¾ cup brown sugar packed
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 Tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- In a a medium-sized bowl whisk together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Once combined cut in the butter until the butter is small crumbs.
- In a 4-cup capacity glass measuring cup mix the hot water, molasses, a lightly beaten egg and the baking soda and stir well.
- Sprinkle 1/3 of the flour mixture into the bottom of the pie crust into an even layer. Pour half of the molasses mix onto the flour. Spread another 1/3 of the flour mixture on top again. Pour the remaining molasses mixture on top. Finish the pie by sprinkling the last 1/3 of the flour mixture on top.
- Bake the pie for 10 minutes then reduce the heat to 350°F and bake for another 20 minutes more. Check for doneness. The pie is cooked properly when the middle of the pie is firm when the plate is lightly shaken.
- Remove from the oven and let the pie cool and set for at least an hour before slicing and serving.
Notes
- This is a dense pie that holds together so well that it could be eaten by hand! It has a gooey cake-like interior.
