Just a note for the uninitiated, Shoo Fly Pie is a pie made with a molasses filling. It has something of the flavor and consistency of a pecan pie but without the nuts. If you have never tasted either, you have missed a true southern treat. On the other hand, I have never knowingly had Apple Pan Dowdy. I was once told that it was something like a cobbler. I guess my education has been sorely neglected in this area.
