Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie pan.
In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut sugar, and salt.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes, then add it to the flour mixture. Use your hands or a pastry cutter to blend until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.
Whisk the egg and vanilla extract in a small bowl, then add it to the flour mixture. Stir until the dough comes together and forms a ball.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.
While the dough is chilling, wash, pit, and slice the plums into thin wedges.
In a mixing bowl, combine the plum slices, honey, cornstarch, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Toss until the fruit is well coated and set aside.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and divide it into two portions (2/3 for the base and 1/3 for the top crust).
Press the larger dough portion into the prepared pie pan, spreading it evenly across the bottom and up the sides.
Pour the plum mixture into the crust, spreading it out evenly.
Roll the remaining dough between two pieces of parchment paper to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into strips to create a lattice or leave whole for a solid top crust.
Place the top crust over the filling. If using a lattice, weave the strips over the filling, and if using a whole crust, make a few small slits for ventilation.
Seal the edges of the crust by pressing it gently with a fork. Brush the top with milk if desired for a golden finish.
Bake the pie for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
