Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crumb topping is golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center may still come out slightly moist. (35 minutes)
06 Step

1 hrs
Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to fully set. (60 minutes)
For a richer flavor, use dark molasses instead of light molasses.
Make sure the butter is very cold when making the crumb topping. This will help create a flakier and more tender topping.
If the crust edges are browning too quickly, cover them with foil or a pie shield during the last 15 minutes of baking.
Serve the pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra-special treat.

Jun 6, 2025The only change I made was adding a pinch of nutmeg to the crumb topping. It added a lovely warmth to the flavor.
