Shoo-Fly Pie

Sarah_Jayne's Note:

Another recipe from the 1980 version of the Grace Evangelical Congregational Church cookbook from Muir, Pennsylvania that was given to me by my Nana when I became an adult. This recipe was submitted to the cookbook by Loleda Shutt. It was one of five Sho-Fly pie recipes in the book. The real question for Sho-Fly pie lovers is - wet or dry?
