Ingredients

• 320 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 150 grams Coconut oil
• 120 milliliters Ice water
• 900 grams Ripe plums
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon Unsweetened almond milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt for the crust.

Step 3

Add cold coconut oil to the flour mixture, mixing with a pastry cutter or fork until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gradually add ice water, stirring with a fork until the dough begins to form.

Step 5

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently until it holds together.

Step 6

Divide the dough into two equal parts, shape into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.

Step 7

Wash, pit, and slice the plums into thick wedges.

Step 8

In a large bowl, combine plums, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir gently to coat the plums.

Step 9

Roll one dough disc on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Carefully transfer the dough to the pie plate.

Step 10

Fill the crust with the prepared plum mixture.

Step 11

Roll the second dough disc to cover the pie, either as a whole top crust or in lattice strips.

Step 12

Seal the edges and cut slits for steam to escape if using a whole top crust.

Step 13

Brush the top crust with almond milk slightly to help with browning.

Step 14

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for about 45 to 55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 15

Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the filling to set.
