Classic Shoo Fly Pie | #tbtfood
"Classic Shoo Fly Pie is perfection in both texture and flavor. It's not hard to make, sets up to a barely woogly center, and the crisp, crunchy-yet-sandy streusel is a fantastictopping. The streusel that is baked in with the filling helps it to set up as the starches in the flour gel. It's a genius pie for lean times and not so lean times. I do hope you give it a try...."
