Time 1h30m

Yield 1 pie

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

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, they will be tart and not as sweet.
Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough. Just mix it until it comes together and then stop.
Chill the dough before rolling it out. This will make it easier to work with and less likely to stick to your rolling pin.
Use a sharp knife to slice the plums. This will help prevent the plums from tearing and will make them easier to eat.
Don't overfill the pie crust. If you overfill the pie crust, the filling will bubble over and make a mess. Leave about 1/2 inch of space between the edge of the pie crust and the filling.
Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. This will take about 45-50 minutes. If you want a crispier crust, you can bake the pie for an additional 5-10 minutes.

Conclusion:

Plum pie is a classic summer dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. Follow these tips to make the perfect plum pie every time.

Here are some additional tips for making plum pie:

You can use any type of plum for this pie, but some of the best varieties include Italian prune plums, Black Beauty plums, and Santa Rosa plums.
If you don't have time to make your own pie crust, you can use a store-bought pie crust.
You can add a variety of spices to the pie filling, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger.
Serve the pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
