My grandmother made the best shoofly pie in the tradition of the Pennsylvania Dutch. Shoofly pie is to the Pennsylvania Dutch as pecan pie is to a Southerner. -Mark Morgan, Waterford, Wisconsin

I feel this recipe needs more spices. The crumb topping was good and easy though.

I made this for a potluck and it was a hit! Everyone loved it, and I had several people ask for the recipe.

This pie was delicious but very dense and a bit much to finish in one sitting. I found the flavor to be a little one-note - a bit more spice or tartness would have been welcome. I’d probably try a different recipe next time.

Amazing recipe! The crust was the star of the show. It was so crispy and flaky, and held up under the moist filling. I'll be making this again soon.

I've made this pie at least 10 times, and it's always a huge hit. It's the perfect dessert for any occasion.

This recipe was so delicious, it disappeared quickly in my house! The molasses flavor was rich and wonderful. The crust was flaky and buttery. This is definitely a keeper.
