AUTHENTIC SHOO FLY PIE (STRAIGHT FROM LANCASTER CO.)



Authentic Shoo Fly Pie (Straight from Lancaster Co.) image

Born, raised & still residing in Lancaster County Amish/PA Dutch Country this is as authentic as it gets. This recipe is from the Mennonite Community Cookbook that's older than me & given to me by my mother. I saw a few other versions posted, but none were like this one. You could use 9 inch pre-pared pie crust but for the real deal you may want to start from scratch (see my recipe #163245 for the crust that goes with).
