CRUMB MIXTURE

FILLING

1. To prepare crumb mixture: Process butter, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt in a food processor until mixture resembles coarse meal.

2. To make filling: Dissolve molasses in boiling water in a large bowl. Stir in baking soda. Add about ⅔ of the crumb mixture and all of the chopped apples, and mix until crumbs are moistened. Spoon into pie shell. Sprinkle remaining crumb mixture on top.

3. Bake in a preheated 375-degree oven until filling is set, about 40 minutes.
