Easy Plum Pie
This Easy Plum pie is sweet and tart, with only 6 ingredients and made in 20 minutes!
For this pie I made my own pie crust, but you could definitely use a store bought pie crust, the results will be very similar!
I don’t own a lattice cutter (but I definitely should!), so I used a Pizza cutter to make the lattice design. You can also use a simple knife, with the aid of a ruler or something similar to create even sized strips.
Ingredients for this Easy Plum Pie
- Plums, in thick slices. For the filling
- Granulated sugar. Helps sweeten your filling
- Cinnamon. Gives aroma and adds flavor
- Cornstarch. Helps as a thickening agent
- Vanilla extract. Adds aroma and enhances flavors
- Unsalted butter, for dotting. Helps with consistency and flavor
- Egg plus a dash of milk. For egg wash
- Store bought or homemade pie crust
How to make this Easy Plum Pie (with how-to photos)
Pre-heat your oven to 375 F. Mix sugar, cinnamon and cornstarch until well combined. Add mixture to your plum slices together with the vanilla extract; mix until plum slices are well coated.
Cover your pie plate with dough and use a pizza cutter or lattice cutter to create your lattice design. Spoon your filling into your crust covered pie plate with a slotted spoon, to drain the excess liquid.
Moisten the edges of your bottom crust with egg wash and start making your lattice.
Cut the excess dough from the sides of your plate and brush your lattice with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar if desired.
Place pie in a foil covered baking sheet on the lowest position of the oven.
Bake for 30 minutes, if it’s browning too fast cover the edges with aluminum foil or a pie crust shield and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Let cool over a wire rack for 2-3 hours, and serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream!
