  1. This pie is quick to prepare and easy to make. However, it fails to taste like any Shoo Fly Pie I've tasted while growing up in Lancaster County, PA. I believe the missing component is the lack of a "wet bottom." The bottom was more cakey than gooey but the crumbly topping sure tasted good! :-) Other than doubling the topping part (It needs it!), I followed the recipe to perfectly.
     
  2. I had to make 25 pies and i still did'nt have a knuff. i thik you should send it to as many peaple as possible
     
  3. This isn't like any shoo fly pie I have had. I didn't care for the taste and texture. The shoo fly pie I'm looking for is kinda like pecan pie but w/o the nuts and sweet.
     
  4. This recipe made the best shoo fly pie ever! Super moist and wonderful.
     
  5. Oh soooo good! Just enough gooey stuff at the bottom. Just like I remember having as a child in PA. Thanks.
