How to Make Mom's Shoofly Pie
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, pour 1 cup of boiling water over 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Let it fizz for a minute.
- Stir in 1 ½ cups of molasses until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups of graham cracker crumbs, ½ cup of all-purpose flour, ½ cup of packed light brown sugar, and ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
- Mix half of the crumb mixture into the molasses mixture.
- Pour the molasses and crumb mixture into two 9-inch pie shells.
- Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture evenly over the top of both pies.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs attached.
- Let cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
