Ingredients

• 5 cups Fresh plums
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 sheets Prepared pie crust
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 2 tablespoons Coarse sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Wash the plums, remove the pits, and slice them into thin wedges. Measure 5 cups of sliced plums and set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix thoroughly.

Step 4

Add the sliced plums and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Toss the plums gently until they are evenly coated.

Step 5

Roll out one sheet of pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie pan, trimming any excess dough hanging over the edges.

Step 6

Pour the plum filling into the prepared crust and spread evenly.

Step 7

Place the second sheet of pie crust over the top of the filling. Trim the edges, leaving about 1/2 inch of overhang, and crimp the edges to seal the pie.

Step 8

Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 9

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the top crust with the egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar.

Step 10

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 11

Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving. This resting time helps the filling set.

Step 12

Serve the plum pie warm or at room temperature, with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if desired.
