Tuesday Treat Day

Being from Amish Country, I thought this would be an appropriate recipe to share. This is truly the best wet bottom shoofly pie we've ever had! And trust me, there is a lot of competition around here for the best!

This is a great pie to give away for housewarming or holidays because it stays longer than a regular pie if you wrap it correctly!

Enjoy!
