Amish Shoofly Pie (Pennsylvania Dutch recipe!)
Shoofly Pie, like they make at the Amish markets in Pennsylvania Dutch country. I grew up on these pies, so I hope you like this authentic recipe!
Servings 8
Ingredients
- 1 cup molasses
- 3/4 cup hot water
- 1 egg beaten
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup shortening
- 1 (9 inch) deep dish pie crust (make sure it's deep dish!)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a mixing bowl add molasses, hot water, egg and baking soda, mixing with a whisk until combined.
- In another bowl mix together flour and brown sugar. Cut in the shortening a little at a time, and mix with a fork until you get a crumbly mixture.
- In the 9 inch pie crust, add half of the crumble mixture on the bottom, spreading it out.
- Pour in the molasses mixture on top of the crumble mixture.
- Add the remaining half of the crumble mixture on top.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Lower the temperature to 350 degrees and bake for 30 more minutes. TIP: I recommend baking the pie on a baking sheet, just in case it bubbles over.
- Remove from the oven and allow to set for 30 minutes before slicing.

Notes
Note: Make sure you're using a deep dish pie crust or it will bubble over!
