Heat oven to 450° F. (hot). Spread apples in 9-inch pie pan lined with unbaked pastry. Sprinkle apples with mixture of sugar, flour, salt, nutmeg, and lemon rind. Dribble molasses and lemon juice over apples; dot with butter. Cover with remaining pastry rolled ⅛ inch thick; trim, seal, and flute edge. Cut a gash in top crust to allow for escape of steam. Bake 10 minutes in hot oven (450° F.); reduce heat to moderate (350° F.) and bake 30 to 40 minutes or until apples are tender.
