Plum Pie

 

Yield: 8 servings

Prep time: 20 minutes

Total time: 1 hr 10 minutes




Ingredients

• 4 cups sliced fresh plums
• ½ cup sugar
• ¼ cup flour
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 unbaked pie shell
• ½ cup brown sugar
• ½ cup flour
• ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
• 3 tablespoons cold butter
  
  

Directions:

1. In a bowl, combine the first six ingredients – plums, sugar, flour, salt cinnamon and lemon juice – and mix well. Pour into the unbaked pastry shell.
   
2. For the crumb topping, combine brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg in a bowl. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle evenly over pie filling.
   
3. Place finished pie on a baking sheet – this will prevent a mess in your oven if the filling bubbles over the pie. Bake at 375° for 50-60 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown. Check halfway through cooking time and if crust is browning too quickly, cover with foil to prevent burning.
   
4. Cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before serving.
   
5. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream
