I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pie turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

This pie was a bit too dense for my liking. I think I would have preferred a lighter, flakier crust.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pie turned out a little too sweet for my taste. Next time I'll use a little less molasses.

I'm not a huge fan of molasses, but I thought this pie was still pretty good. The crumb topping was my favorite part.

This Shoo Fly Pie was a delight! The molasses flavor was prominent but not overpowering, and the crumb topping added a nice crunch. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly.
