FAVORITE PLUM PIE
I know there are lots of pie recipes on AllRecipes.com. I only found one for classic plum pie, and lots for cherry pie, but each had features I didn't care for, so I combined what I thought were the best parts, and this is the result. This recipe is easily doubled, tripled, or whatever, depending on the amount of fruit you have.

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.

ORIGINAL PLUM TORTE
The Times published Marian Burros's recipe for Plum Torte every September from 1983 until 1989, when the editors determined that enough was enough. The recipe was to be printed for the last time that year. "To counter anticipated protests," Ms. Burros wrote a few years later, "the recipe was printed in larger type than usual with a broken-line border around it to encourage clipping." It didn't help. The paper was flooded with angry letters. "The appearance of the recipe, like the torte itself, is bittersweet," wrote a reader in Tarrytown, N.Y. "Summer is leaving, fall is coming. That's what your annual recipe is all about. Don't be grumpy about it." We are not! And we pledge that every year, as summer gives way to fall, we will make sure that the recipe is easily available to one and all. The original 1983 recipe called for 1 cup sugar; the 1989 version reduced that to 3/4 cup. We give both options below. Here are five ways to adapt the torte.

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:
- Choose the right plums: Look for ripe, firm plums with no blemishes. Freestone plums are best for this recipe, as they are easier to pit.
- Use a paper bag to cook the plums: This method helps to create a moist, tender filling. Make sure the bag is large enough to hold the plums comfortably.
- Don't overcook the plums: They should be tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked plums will be mushy.
- Use a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the pie crust cooks evenly.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving: This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.
Conclusion:
This paper bag purple plum pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert. The plums are cooked in a paper bag, which creates a moist, tender filling. The pie crust is flaky and golden brown. This pie is perfect for a summer picnic or potluck.
