Hi Valerie
From what I heard Shoefly pie means that pies of Molasses are a great
attention catcher for fly's so that is why they call it that?
1950's Shoofly Pie
Streusel:
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup flour
1/8 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
1/8 tsp. ginger
1/4 cup cold butter, cut into 1/2 inch dice
Pastry for single crust pie, chilled
1/2 cup molasses
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 cup water, heated to just under a boil
To make streusel, put sugar in medium bowl. Sift together flour, salt,
cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger on sheet of wax paper and add to sugar. Work in
butter with fingers. wear disposable gloves if desired, til the texture
resembles coarse sand.
Coat a 9 inch ovenproof glass pie pan with vegetable spray. Roll out pastry
(or use store bought, or your favorite recipe). Fit into bottom of pie plate
and trim off excess. Chill in refrigerator.
Set oven rack in middle position. Preheat oven to 400.
Put molasses in bowl. Dissolve baking soda in water ad add to molasses,
stirring with wooden spoon. Pour into prepared pie hell. Sprinkle streusel
over surface of pie and bake 15 minutes. Reduce oven temp to 350. Bake
another 25 minutes or til tester inserted into pie comes out clean.
Put pie on rack and cool completely before cutting. Store leftover pie
loosely wrapped in wax paper in refrigerator. Makes 8 slices
Note: Do not use hot tap water which might contain minerals.
This is a very traditional Pennsylvania Dutch or German pie. It was found in
the manuscript cookbook of The Pie Lady, from North Carolina, another
example of how heirloom recipes can cross state borders. Dark corn syrup may
be substitute for the molasses. This is a very rich pie, so serve in small
slices.

Hello Sugar, thanks for forwarding this recipe, I've always wondered what
apple pan dowdy might be and also what shoo fly pie might be, as mentioned
in that song.
A nice first recipe to read this morning, I've not been at the computer in
quite a while. I guess many would know shoo fly pie recipe, I'd love to
know what the recipe is, out of interest.
Cheers and thanks again for the recipe. Valerie

Apple Pandowdy
2 sticks or 1 packet Betty Crocker Pie Crust Mix
1 can (20 ounces) apple slices, drained
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
3 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
6 tablespoons maple-flavored syrup
Heat oven to 425 degrees. Prepare pastry for 8 inch two crust pie as
directed on package. Stir together apple slices and brown sugar; turn into
pastry lined pie pan. Top with butter and 3 tablespoons of the syrup. Cover
with top crust which has slits cut in it; seal and flute.
Bake 15 minutes; remove from oven. Make crisscross cuts about 1 inch apart
through top crust and filling. Drizzle remaining syrup on top. Cover edge
with 2 to 3 inch strip of aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning; bake
25 minutes longer. Serve warm and, if desired, pour on additional syrup.
American Classic
-God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change The courage
to change the things I can And the wisdom to know the difference Living one
day at a time, Enjoying one moment at a time, Accepting hardships as the
pathway to peace Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is Not as I
would have it, Trusting that He will make all things right If I surrender to
His will, That I may be reasonably happy in this life.
-Blessings, Sugar
