  1. I took the review by Massachusetts Mom to make me think I had found exactly what I was looking for...a really gooey wet bottom shoofly pie. My family loves shoofly pies and the gooier the better! I too found that the pie had to bake almost double the time just to stop sloshing when the pie plate was moved but again if the pie was gooey it was all good. The pie seemed to set up as it cooled and looked great. We couldn't wait for dessert. When cut the pie was still mostly liquid and had to be spooned. It was so sweet that nobody could manage more than a couple bites. This pie was totally inedible and we had to throw the whole thing out!
     
  2. Seems like the filling & crumb recipe would fill two pies, not one. I used a deep dish 9" pie crust and I couldn't fit everything. The filling was still liquidy and the topping wasn't cooked, even after an extra 1/2 hour baking time. Still, it smelled awesome. Will try it again using two pie crusts.
