A favorite Pennsylvania Dutch pie. Make sure you bake these in 10 inch pie pans or it will run over in the oven. Ingredients:
2 deep dish 10 inch pie shells, unbaked |
crumbs |

2. Mix the ingredients for the crumbs with your fingers until it forms fine crumbs; set aside.
3. Mix together the molasses, brown sugar and egg with a whisk until smooth. Measure out the 2 cups of boiling water and add the baking soda, being careful as it will foam; stir. Gradually add the water mixture to the molasses mixture and stir well to combine.

5. Top each pie with equal portions of crumbs.
6. Bake for about 40 minutes or until liquid is set.
