Ingredients

• 1000 grams plums
• 100 grams granulated sugar
• 200 grams whole wheat flour
• 60 ml cold water
• 30 grams cornstarch
• 15 ml lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 50 grams unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 60 ml water for pie crust

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, salt, and baking powder.

Step 3

Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, blend the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gradually add cold water, about 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork, just until the dough starts to come together. Gather the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step 5

While the dough chills, prepare the plum filling. Wash and pit the plums, then slice them into wedges.

Step 6

In another large bowl, combine the sliced plums with granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir until the plums are evenly coated.

Step 7

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit a 9-inch pie platter. Place the rolled dough into the pie plate and trim any excess from the edges.

Step 8

Pour the plum filling into the crust-lined pie plate, arranging the fruit as needed.

Step 9

Cut the remaining dough into strips and arrange them in a lattice pattern over the top of the pie, or simply cover with another rolled-out dough and make slits for steam to escape.

Step 10

Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling.

Step 11

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before serving. This will allow the filling to set properly.
