A delicious and sweet plum pie with a flaky crust and juicy plum filling. Perfect for dessert or a special occasion.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour For the pie crust
- 1 cup unsalted butter Chilled and cut into small cubes
- 1/4 cup ice water More if needed
- 6 cups plums Pitted and sliced
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar For the filling
- 1/4 cup cornstarch For thickening the filling
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice Freshly squeezed
- 1 unit egg Beaten, for egg wash
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour and chilled, cubed unsalted butter. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to blend together until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing just until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a separate bowl, combine sliced plums, granulated sugar, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Mix well.
- Roll out half of the dough on a lightly floured surface to fit your pie dish. Transfer the dough to the dish and trim the edges. Pour the plum mixture into the crust.
- Roll out the remaining dough and cut it into strips to form a lattice pattern over the pie. Brush the lattice and edges of the crust with beaten egg.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack before serving.

Yum! So delicious! Made it last night and couldn’t stop eating it. This will be my new go-to dessert! 🤤
That’s great to hear! Plum pie is the best! ❤️ Can’t wait to try it myself!
Come on, who really needs a pinch of cinnamon? It’s a pie, not a spice rack! It was too spicy for me. 😬
This recipe was okay but I think my plums were too ripe. Maybe if I tried it with a different fruit? 🤷♂️
Yeah, using slightly firmer fruit could make a big difference! Apples or pears could work too. Good luck next time! 🍏
I followed the instructions but my crust turned out all wrong. Maybe I added too much water? Not sure. 😟
This plum pie was a hit at our family dinner! Super easy to make and the flavors are just perfect. Everyone asked for the recipe! 😊
Had a hard time with the lattice crust. It’s too much work for me, will just go for a single crust next time! 😂
Honestly, who puts lemon juice in a plum pie? Didn’t taste right to me. I say skip it next time.
Lemon juice adds brightness, but I get it if it’s not your thing. Everyone has their taste, right?
