Comments
- This is an interesting Pennsylvania Dutch pie that is sure to make for fun conversation. It is really like no other pie. The topping reminds me of our cobbler topping, but it bakes up like a cake with the baking soda in there.
- Winter at the farmers market can sometimes seem a little bare, but you are sure to find some local molasses and this is a great way to use it.
- We serve this with a little sweetened whipped cream!
- Enjoy!
