Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 375. Combine first 6 ingredients and pour into pie shell.
- 2. Combine topping ingredients until crumbly. Sprinkle over fruit.

Tips:
- Select the right plums: Use ripe, firm, and sweet plums for the best flavor. Avoid plums that are bruised or have blemishes.
- Pit the plums: Use a sharp knife to carefully remove the pits from the plums. Be sure to remove all of the pit, including the small pieces that may be attached to the flesh.
- Make the filling: Combine the pitted plums, sugar, flour, spices, and lemon juice in a bowl. Mix well to combine.
- Prepare the crust: If using a store-bought crust, follow the package directions. If making your own crust, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and butter in a food processor or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the ice water and pulse until the dough just comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Assemble the pie: Roll out the dough and place it in a 9-inch pie plate. Trim the edges and fold them under. Pour the plum filling into the pie crust. Roll out the remaining dough and place it on top of the pie filling. Trim and fold the edges under. Crimp the edges to seal the pie.
- Bake the pie: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bake the pie for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Let the pie cool: Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to develop.
