Ingredients
8 Servings
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 15 grams cornstarch
- 1 egg
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 60 ml ice water
- 15 ml lemon juice
- 700 grams plums
- 115 grams unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the flour and sugar. Add the chilled butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 3
Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Step 4
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer the dough to the pie dish and trim any excess.
Step 5
In another bowl, combine the plums, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Toss until the plums are well coated.
Step 6
Pour the plum mixture into the prepared pie crust. Roll out the remaining dough and place it over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal.
Step 7
Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Step 9
Allow the pie to cool before serving. Enjoy!
