Ingredients
- 1 Pie crust premade or homemade
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons butter cold and cut into cubes
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 cup molasses
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. If you're using a homemade pie crust, prepare it and place it in a 9-inch pie dish.
- If using a store-bought crust, ensure its thawed if frozen, and place it in the pie dish.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine flour, brown sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate small bowl, dissolve the baking soda in hot water. Stir in the molasses until well combined.
- Pour the molasses mixture into the prepared pie dish.
- Sprinkle flour mixture over the filling into the pie dish.
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, turn oven to 350 degrees, and continue baking for 30 more minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
- Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before serving.
- Serve slices with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if desired.
