Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s get started on this delightful pie! First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it’s warming up, I like to prepare my pie crust. If you’re using a store-bought crust, that’s perfectly fine, but if you’re feeling adventurous, you can always make your own from scratch. Place your crust into the pie dish and set it aside while we work on the filling. In a medium bowl, combine your boiling water and baking soda, stirring until well-mixed, then add molasses for that deep, rich flavor. This mixture will form the base of your filling.
