This is a sponsored post. I had the wonderful opportunity to work with Crosby’s Molasses to bring you this recipe. Though monetary compensation was received, all opinions are my own.
We’re in the peak of apple season and nothing is better than pairing apples with the old-fashioned flavor of molasses. Sweetening the apples with molasses gives this pie a rich and deep caramel flavor. The method of this recipe is similar to a dump cake. All you have to do is spread the batter on top of the fruit and bake. There is no fussing with making a pie crust. The batter forms into a deliciously hearty and crunchy crust on top of the apples. 
Crosby’s Molasses is a family-owned and operated Canadian company for over 140 years. Based in New Brunswick, they continue to import fancy and blackstrap molasses that is as wholesome today as it was back in 1879. The company’s fancy molasses is a single-source molasses made from the juice of sugarcane grown around the Madre Tierra sugar mill in Guatemala. The tangy and red-tinged colour is distinct to the molasses imported by Crosby’s.
Molasses is a natural sweetener comparable to honey and maple syrup. Crosby’s fancy molasses is pure sugarcane juice that has been condensed, inverted, and purified. It is 100% natural, contains no additives, and is unsulfured and non-GMO certified.

Thank you for your kind words!
Any recommendations for what time of apples to use? This is my first attempt at apple pie and I want it to be a hit.
Great question, Kris. My favorite apples to bake with are Royal Galas, Golden Delicious, and Mutsu/Granny Smiths. Here’s a post I wrote for the best top ten: https://www.littlesweetbaker.com/best-apples-for-apple-pie/ I hope that helps and good luck with your first apple pie!
