Time 1h30m

Yield 1 pie

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cups sliced plums
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 unbaked 9-inch deep dish pie pastry
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
3 tablespoons cold margarine

Steps:

  • In bowl, combine first 6 ingredients; pour into pastry shell.
  • For topping, combine sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg.
  • Cut in margarine until coarse.
  • Sprinkle over plums.
  • Bake in preheated 375 degree oven for 60 minutes or until golden brown.
  • (May need to cover crust edges with foil during baking to prevent burning.).

Tips:

  • Use ripe, flavorful plums. This will ensure that your pie has the best possible flavor. If your plums are not ripe, you can ripen them by placing them in a paper bag at room temperature for a few days.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough. Be sure to mix the ingredients just until they come together, then stop.
  • Chill the dough before rolling it out. This will make it easier to work with and will help prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the plums. This will help prevent the plums from tearing.
  • Don't overfill the pie crust. Leave about 1 inch of space around the edges of the crust so that the juices can bubble up without overflowing.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the juices are bubbling. This will take about 45-50 minutes.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.

Conclusion:

Plum pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its sweet and tart filling and flaky crust, plum pie is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
