Recipe Created By: Kathy Przywara
Ingredients
3/4 cup gluten free flour mix*
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground cloves
1/8 tsp ground ginger
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt
2 Tbsp shortening
1/2 cup molasses
3/4 cup boiling water
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
2 Tbsp applesauce
1 9-in unbaked pie shell
Directions
Preheat oven to 450°FMix together the dry ingredients - flour, sugar, and spices. Cut in the shortening with a fork or pastry blender until crumbly.
Combine molasses with baking soda and stir until it's a light taffy color. Add the applesauce and stir to combine. Add the boiling water. Add carefully as this may foam up.
Spread 1/3 of the crumb mixture in the bottom of the pie shell. Gently pour over about half of the liquid mixture. Repeat with another 1/3 of the crumb and remainder of the liquid. Top with remaining crumbs.
Bake at 450&jdeg;F for 10 minutes. Lower oven temperature to 350°F and bake an additional 20 minutes or until firm. Cool before slicing.
Notes
This is a "wet-bottom" Shoo-Fly Pie. It's a PA Dutch treat.
Substitutions
I use my Kathy P's Brown Rice Flour Mix
If you don't need to avoid wheat/gluten, use all-purpose flour.

Gluten: Gluten is a protein found in specific grains (wheat, spelt, kamut, barley, rye). Other grains are naturally gluten-free but may have cross-contact with gluten-containing grains. Look for certified gluten-free products if you need to avoid gluten. Find out more about wheat and gluten substitutions.
Milk and Soy Substitutions: Alternative dairy-free milk beverages and products will work in most recipes. Find out more about milk substitutions and soy substitutions.
