Instructions
-
Prepare the Crust
Begin by lightly dusting the bottom crust of your pie pan with flour. This will help prevent sticking and ensure a beautiful, flaky base. -
-
Fill with Apples
Layer the sliced apples into the prepared pie crust, allowing them to fill the pan generously. The apples will soften as they bake, creating a delightful filling. -
Sweeten the Apples
Evenly sprinkle the sugar over the apples, ensuring that each slice is kissed with sweetness. This will help to enhance the natural flavor of the apples. -
Add Seasoning
Next, sprinkle the pinch of salt and the cinnamon over the top of the apple and sugar mixture. The cinnamon will add warmth and depth to the overall flavor profile of the pie. -
Pour the Molasses
Gently pour the molasses over the layered ingredients, allowing it to seep into the apples and mingle with the sugar and spices for a rich, flavorful filling. -
Dot with Butter
Cut the butter into small pieces and dot it evenly across the top of the filling. This will melt during baking, adding richness and enhancing the overall flavor of the pie. -
Seal the Pie
Carefully place the top crust over the filled pie, ensuring to seal the edges tightly to prevent any delicious filling from leaking out during baking. -
Vent the Top
Using a sharp knife, cut a few slits in the top crust. This will allow steam to escape and help the crust to achieve a lovely, golden-brown color. -
Bake
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and bake the pie for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly. You may want to place a baking sheet on the rack below to catch any drips.
Enjoy a slice of this delectable Apple-Molasses Pie warm from the oven, perhaps paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special touch. This pie not only brings the flavors of autumn to your table but also creates lasting memories with every bite shared with family and friends.
