Ingredients
  

Filling
  • 4 cups Ripe Plums Sliced
  • 3/4 cup Sugar Can use brown sugar for deeper flavor
  • 1/4 cup Cherry Preserves Can substitute with any fruit preserves
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon Optional
Crust
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Gluten-free flour can be used as a substitute
  • 1 cup Butter Cold and cubed; vegan butter for dairy-free
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Use kosher salt for best results
  • 6-8 tablespoons Ice Water Must be cold

Equipment

  • food processor
  • 15x10-inch jelly roll pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Oven

Method
 

Make the Crust
  1. In a food processor, combine all-purpose flour, salt, and sugar, pulsing briefly to mix.
  2. Cut cold butter into small cubes and add it to the mixture, pulsing until crumbly like coarse sand.
  3. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough forms a cohesive ball.
  4. Divide the dough into two halves, wrap in plastic, and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Prepare Filling
  1. In a large bowl, toss the sliced ripe plums with half of the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  2. Allow them to rest for about 15 minutes to enhance the flavor.
Assemble the Pie
  1. After chilling, roll out one half of the dough to fit the jelly roll pan.
  2. Place the rolled dough into the pan, leaving a slight overhang and poke holes across the bottom.
  3. Spread cherry preserves evenly over the crust, then layer the prepared plums on top.
Finish and Bake
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Sprinkle remaining cinnamon sugar over the plums and brush the edges with melted butter.
  3. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until crust is golden and filling is bubbling.
Cool and Serve
  1. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for about 20-30 minutes.
  2. Slice into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
