***CRUMB MIXTURE***

3 tablespoons reduced-fat margarine -- softened

and cut into bits

3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour

1/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1/4 teaspoon salt

***REMAINING INGREDIENTS***

1/2 cup molasses

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 recipe Basic Pastry Crust

(see separate recipe)

 

Makes 1 9-inch pie, 6 to 8 servings

 

The quintessential Pennsylvania Dutch dessert.

 

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

 

In a mixing bowl, combine the ingredients for the crumb mixture. Work the

margarine into the mixture with a pastry blender or the tines of a fork

until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.

 

In another howl, dissolve the molasses in 1/2 cup of boiling

water. Sprinkle in the baking soda and stir until it dissolves. Add about

2/3 of the crumb mixture and stir together until the crumbs are moistened;

the mixture need not be smooth. Pour into the prepared crust and top with

the remaining crumbs. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the crust and

crumbs are golden and the filling is set. Serve warm or at room temperature.
