Plum Pie
A delicious and sweet plum pie with a flaky crust and juicy plum filling. Perfect for dessert or a special occasion.
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour For the pie crust
- 1 cup Unsalted butter Chilled and cut into small cubes
- 1/4 cup Ice water More if needed
- 6 cups Plums Pitted and sliced
- 3/4 cup Granulated sugar For the filling
- 1/4 cup Cornstarch For thickening the filling
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice Freshly squeezed
- 1 unit Egg Beaten, for egg wash
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour and chilled, cubed unsalted butter. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to blend together until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing just until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a separate bowl, combine sliced plums, granulated sugar, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Mix well.
- Roll out half of the dough on a lightly floured surface to fit your pie dish. Transfer the dough to the dish and trim the edges. Pour the plum mixture into the crust.
- Roll out the remaining dough and cut it into strips to form a lattice pattern over the pie. Brush the lattice and edges of the crust with beaten egg.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack before serving.
