Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat pastry flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
• 5 tablespoons Ice water
• 6 cups Fresh plums, pitted and sliced
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened apple juice
• 1 serving Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat pastry flour and salt. Add the chilled butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to blend until the mixture resembles coarse sand.

Step 3

Slowly add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently just until the dough starts to come together. Form it into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 4

In a separate large bowl, combine the sliced plums, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and unsweetened apple juice. Stir well to evenly coat the plums.

Step 5

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently into the bottom and sides. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.

Step 6

Pour the plum filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

Roll out the remaining dough or pastry scraps to create a lattice or decorative top crust, if desired.

Step 8

Brush the top crust with the egg wash to enhance browning.

Step 9

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling.

Step 10

Remove pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
