How to Make Moist Shoo Fly Pie

Prepare your pie dough (recipe not included, use your favorite recipe or store-bought). Set aside 2 cups for the topping.
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup hot water, and 1 cup King Syrup. Mix thoroughly.
In a small bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon baking soda in 1/4 cup hot water. Add this mixture to the wet ingredients and whisk to combine.
Pour the wet ingredients into your prepared pie crusts (single 9-inch pie or two smaller pies).
Crumble the reserved 2 cups of pie dough over the top of the filling, leaving some space between the crumbles for air circulation.
Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes. Then, reduce the temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
