Steps:
- Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the plums into the base of a shallow gratin dish about 28cm long. Mix together the sugar, orange zest, cinnamon and flour and sprinkle over the plums. Trickle over 2 tbsp water.
- Put all the crumble ingredients into a food processor, and using the pulse button, whizz until the mixture just starts to clump together. Take care not to over process at this stage. Alternatively, rub the butter into the flour using your hands and then stir in the other ingredients.
- Scatter the crumble over the plums and bake in the oven for 30-40 mins until golden brown. Leave for about 15 mins before serving with custard or cream.

Steps:
- Lightly flour your work surface. Roll the pie dough to a 15-inch (38-cm) circle with a thickness of 1/8 inch (3 mm). Gently fold the pie dough in half and then in half again and transfer the pie dough to a 10-inch deep-dish pie plate. Place the pointed tip of folded dough in the center of the pie pan and gently unfold the pie crust, pressing the dough onto the bottom of the pie plate and tucking the dough into the edges and sides of the pan.
- Roll any dough hanging over the edge of the pie plate under itself and, if desired, flute the edge. Place the formed pie shell in the freezer for at least 1 hour before baking.
- Place the sugar and vanilla bean in a medium bowl. Rub the sugar and vanilla bean together with your fingertips to remove all the seeds. Add the cornstarch and mix until combined.
- Add the sliced plums and bourbon and toss to coat the plums well. Set aside at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour, sugar, brown sugar, and salt on low speed for 1 minute.
- Gradually add the butter and mix on low speed until pea-size lumps form, 3 to 5 minutes. Do not overmix; the mixture should resemble wet sand. To test it for doneness, take a handful of topping, squeeze, and then unclench. The topping should hold together for 5 to 10 seconds before crumbling apart. (You can cover and refrigerate the topping for up to 2 weeks.)
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Remove the chilled pie crust from the freezer and place it on a rimmed baking sheet. Line the pie crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights, dried beans, or uncooked rice.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the exposed crust is golden. Remove the parchment paper and pie weights and continue to bake, uncovered, until the bottom of the pie crust is a light shade of golden brown, about 10 minutes more.
- Remove the vanilla bean from the plum mixture and discard. Fill the pie crust with the plum filling. Cover with the crumble topping. (You don't have to use all the crumble topping, but trust us when we say that you'll be glad if you did.)
- Place the pie on a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet 180° and continue to bake until the plum filling bubbles, the juices thicken into a jam, and the crumble topping is golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes more.
- Let cool for 2 hours before slicing and serving.

PLUM CHUTNEY CRUMB PIE
If you've never made chutney, you might think it to be one of those long-simmering, involved recipes that take the better part of a day. Really, making chutney is no harder than making applesauce. All you do is cook down the fruit with spices, herbs, sugar and, very important, a little vinegar to accentuate the tang, and you're done. The intriguing flavor comes from the combination of ingredients, not from a complicated technique.

Steps:
- Make the crust: In a food processor, briefly pulse together flour and salt. Add butter and pulse until mixture forms chickpea-size pieces (3 to 5 one-second pulses). Add ice water 1 tablespoon at a time, up to 6 tablespoons, pulsing occasionally until mixture is just moist enough to hold together. Form dough into a ball, wrap with plastic and flatten into a disk. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
- Make the chutney: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring vinegar, 2 tablespoons water, brown sugar, star anise, cinnamon stick, rosemary sprig, ginger root, pepper, cardamom and salt to a simmer, stirring to help dissolve sugar. Add a third of the plums and let mixture simmer until thickened, stirring frequently, 20 to 30 minutes. Let cool, then discard star anise, cinnamon stick and rosemary.
- Meanwhile, toss remaining plums, granulated sugar, orange zest and tapioca in a bowl and let sit for 20 minutes. (If your plums are tart, add more sugar to taste.)
- Lightly flour a work surface and rolling pin. Gently roll out dough to fit a 9-inch pie pan, dusting with flour if dough is sticking. Fold dough in half and transfer to pie pan. Carefully press crust into pan and crimp edges. Return pie to refrigerator for 20 minutes. While crust chills, heat oven to 400 degrees.
- Gently press foil into pie crust and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Transfer to oven and bake for 18 minutes. Remove the foil and pie weights and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until crust is a light golden brown. Transfer to a rack to cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, prepare the crumb topping: In a small bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves and salt. Using your hands, work in butter until the dry ingredients are completely incorporated into butter and large, marble-size clumps form when pinched. Let sit in refrigerator while assembling pie.
- Mix chutney into uncooked plums. Pour filling into crust and cover with crumb topping. Turn oven down to 350 degrees and place pie on a baking sheet on middle rack in oven. Bake pie for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until fruit is bubbling and top is golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature, with vanilla ice cream if you like.
PLUM PIE
This pie has a decorative and tasty streusel topping on it. If using apples in this pie be sure to add 1/4 teaspoon of ground mace in streusel topping. Substitutions: walnuts may be used instead of hazelnuts; few drops of lemon oil may be used instead of lemon zest; also apple or cherries can be used in place of plums.

PLUM GRAHAM CRACKER CRUMBLE
As plums bake, their tartness mellows and their juices jelly - just a couple reasons why they do so well in pies, cobblers and this crumble, which is essentially an upside-down graham cracker-crusted pie. If you don't have graham crackers on hand, vanilla wafers will work nicely too, but you'll need to cook a little longer. Be sure to press the graham crackers into a single layer instead of scattering clumps of it over the plums; doing so creates a sturdy but delicate topping that won't drown in a sea of plum juice. Keep this plum crumble simple, or add extra spices like ground ginger, cinnamon or nutmeg.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. To an 8-inch square (or round) baking dish, add the plums, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Toss everything together to coat and set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the remaining 1/4 cup flour, 2 tablespoons brown sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- In a small bowl, combine the butter and vanilla. Using a spoon, mix it into the graham cracker mixture until the crumbs are evenly moist, then spread it over the plums, pressing down with your palms to create an even, compact layer.
- Bake about 30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and hardened and plum juice is bubbling up along the edges of the pan. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 5 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Put flour, salt, and sugar in bowl of a food processor, and pulse to combine. Add butter, and process for about 10 seconds, or just until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Add ice water, tablespoon by tablespoon (1/4 to 1/2 cup), through the feed tube with machine running, just until the dough holds together without being wet or sticky; do not process more than 30 seconds. Test the dough at this point by squeezing a small amount together. If it is crumbly, add a bit more water.
- Divide dough in half, and wrap each half in plastic wrap, using a rolling pin to flatten into a disk. Chill until needed. Wrapped in plastic, dough can be frozen for several weeks before using.
Tips:
- Use ripe plums: The sweetness and flavor of ripe plums will shine through in the pie.
- Choose a variety of plums: Using a mix of tart and sweet plums will create a more complex and interesting flavor.
- Don't overmix the crumble topping: Overmixing will make the topping tough.
- Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling: This will ensure that the pie is cooked through.
- Let the pie cool slightly before serving: This will allow the filling to set and make it easier to slice.
