This is a rather tart, but refreshing pie. I just used a single crust, but you may use a double as directed in this recipe.
Ingredients
Pastry For 9 Inch Two-Crust Pie
1/2 Cup Sugar
1/3 Cup Unbleached Flour
1/2 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
5 Cups Pitted & Sliced Ripe Purple Plums (About 11 To 12 Plums)
1 Teaspoon Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
3 Tablespoons Butter
Butter For Preparing Pie Pan
Heat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly butter pie pan. Set aside. Prepare pastry. In large-size bowl place plum slices. In small-size bowl stir together sugar, flour and cinnamon. Lightly mix in sugar mixture with plum slices. Set aside.
Line pastry on bottom of pie pan. Turn plum mixture into lined pie pan and sprinkle with lemon juice. Dot with 3 tablespoons butter. Cover with top crust. Seat, flute and cut slits in top.
