Recipe Information
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
Instructions
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Pour the plum mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the crumble topping generously over the plums.
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.
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.
