Ingredients
- 300 grams All-purpose flour
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 180 grams Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 60 milliliters Ice water
- 900 grams Plums (pitted and sliced)
- 25 grams Cornstarch
- 70 grams Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 75 grams Rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine 200 grams of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 25 grams of sugar. Add 120 grams of cold, cubed unsalted butter, and use your fingertips or a pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 2
Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough just comes together. Form the dough into a disk, wrap it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Step 3
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface into a circle about 30 cm (12 inches) in diameter. Transfer the dough to a 23 cm (9-inch) pie dish and trim the edges. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, toss the sliced plums with 70 grams of brown sugar, 25 grams of cornstarch, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Set the mixture aside to macerate for 10 minutes.
Step 5
In another bowl, prepare the crumble topping by mixing 100 grams of all-purpose flour, 75 grams of rolled oats, 50 grams of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 60 grams of cold, cubed unsalted butter. Use your hands or a pastry cutter to form coarse crumbs.
Step 6
Pour the plum mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the crumble topping generously over the plums.
Step 7
Place the pie on a baking sheet (to catch any drips) and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the crumble topping is golden brown.
Step 8
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
