Dark molasses is front and center in the filling of this shoofly pie. The crust is perfectly crimped, the filling is luscious, and the amount of buttery crumbles on top is generous; you might have to shoo your family away so they don't sneak some before it's time for dessert.

Truly one of my favorite desserts ever! This recipe comes from the AMAZING Good 'N Plenty Family Restaurant in the heart of Lancaster County, PA. Bar none, my favorite restaurant ANYWHERE. (And I get around!) Try this, and prepare to be amazed by the delicious, gooey/crumbly, SWEET richness! One of the characteristics of a traditional Shoo-Fly pie is a crumbly, messy, almost floury crust on top...I understand that all tastes are different, and for that, I'm sorry you and DH didn't like it, Sistah. :(

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your pie will taste. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make it tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before rolling it out: Chilling the dough will make it easier to handle and will help prevent it from shrinking in the oven.
  • Bake the pie in a preheated oven: This will help the crust to cook evenly.
  • Let the pie cool before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set.
