Beautiful Purple Plum Pie

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to bring this pie to life:

  • 6 cups sliced plums (about 6-8 plums)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1 package (14.1 ounces) refrigerated pie crusts (or make your own)
  • 1 egg yolk mixed with 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)

Instructions

Now, let’s get to the fun part—making this pie!

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). You want it nice and hot, just like summer in the backyard!
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced plums, sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and lemon juice. Toss it gently until all the plums are coated. Let it sit for about 15 minutes, so those flavors can get to know each other.
  3. Roll out one pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie plate. Pour your plum mixture over the crust, and dot the top with small pieces of butter.
  4. Roll out the second pie crust, and cut it into strips to create a lattice top, or simply place it whole if you’re keeping it simple. Seal the edges by crimping them together with your fingers.
  5. Brush the top with the egg wash to give it that golden brown shine. This is where the magic happens!
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Your kitchen is going to smell divine!
  7. Once it’s done, let it cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This will let the filling set up just right.

And there you have it—your very own Purple Plum Pie! Serve it warm with a scoop of ice cream or just enjoy it plain. Whatever you choose, it’s bound to impress! Now go grab a slice and share it with those you love.
