# Instructions:

01 - Blend flour, salt, sugar, and butter in food processor until it gets crumbly. Add water bit by bit until it forms dough. Keep it in the fridge for an hour.
02 - Roll dough into a 12-inch circle, press it into your pie dish, and shape the edges however you like. Pop it back in the fridge for half an hour.
03 - Combine your dry ingredients first, then work the butter in until it feels like crumbs.
04 - Blend molasses, warm water, and baking soda. Mix in just a third of the crumb topping.
05 - Pour filling over the base, scatter the rest of the crumb topping on top. Bake for 15 minutes at 450°F, then drop heat to 350°F and bake 25 minutes more.

# Notes:

01 - Allow to cool down fully before cutting
02 - Tastes great paired with coffee
03 - You can swap in light or regular molasses
