To prepare the filling:
Core, slice, and peel three cups of apples and place in a bowl. Add 1/2 cup of molasses. Add nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well. Butter a one-and-a-half quart baking dish and dump in the apple mixture. Bake at 350-degrees for 20 minutes. Remove from oven.

To prepare the crust:
Melt butter. Add egg, milk, and sugar. Stir well. Add flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix together.

Spread evenly over baked apple mixture. Place back in the 350-degree oven for an additional 30 minutes. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
