I can never resist a tart, tempting slice of this beautiful pie. It's a down-home dessert that makes any meal special. This pie is a terrific way to put bountiful summer plums to use. Michelle Beran, Claflin, Kansas Ingredients:
4 cups sliced fresh plums (about 1-1/2 pounds) |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/4 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
frozen deep-dish pie shell |
topping: |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
3 tablespoons cold butter |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, sprinkle plums with lemon juice. Combine the sugar, flour, salt and cinnamon. Add to plums; toss gently to coat. Pour into pie shell.
2. For topping, in a small bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg; cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over filling.
3. Bake at 375° for 50-60 minutes or until filling is bubbly. Cover edges of crust during the last 20 minutes to prevent overbrowning. Cool on a wire rack. Yield: 8 servings.
