If you're craving something sweet, why not try making a delicious plum pie? Here are step by step instructions on how to make your favorite plum pie recipe.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water
- 6 cups plums, pitted and halved
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add in the butter pieces and mix until they're coated with flour. Gradually add in the ice water until the dough comes together. If it's too sticky, you can add more flour or ice water as needed.
3. Divide the dough in half and wrap each half in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
4. While the dough is chilling, prepare the plum filling. In a large bowl, combine the pitted and halved plums, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
5. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one of the chilled dough halves into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish, letting any excess dough hang over the edges. Prick the bottom with a fork.
7. Pour the plum filling into the prepared crust.
8. Roll out the second half of the chilled dough into an 11-inch circle. Cut off about an inch of dough from each edge and crimp it up around the top of the pie to make a decorative border.
9. Cut slits in the top of the crust to allow steam to escape. Sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired.
10. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
11. Allow the pie to cool before serving. Enjoy your delicious homemade plum pie!
