These plums were screaming out to me "pick me pick me" so I couldn't resist.
Adding some cardamon sugar to the plum mix really helps to bring out their flavor.
This pie is delicious with ice cream!
Ingredients
recipe for 1 tart or pie dough
plums, around 10, cut and pitted
Melted Butter
Freshly whipped cream from heavy whipping cream, vanilla ice cream or cardamon creme
Procedure
Preheat oven to 400 F.
Cut the plums into dice and place into a bowl.
Sprinkle cardamon sugar on the plums and mix the sugar into the plums.
Roll out your pie crust on a pastry roll mat and place into a greased pie pan.
With a pastry brush, gently brush melted butter on top of the entire crusts, including the sides.
Sprinkle some cardamon sugar on the bottom of the pan in the crust. You don't want to sprinkle the sugar on the sides of the pie, because they will be exposed and both the sugar and the cardamon will burn! By pouring the plums on top of the sugar, the sugar will mix in with the plum and juices.
Pour the plums on top of the pie crust. The plums will be really liquidy from the sugar you added previously. Don't worry about it, it will burn off in the oven.
Fold over any pie crust. You can also make a lattice crust if you want to.
Apply another brushing of melted butter on the pie crust.
Lower the temperature of the oven to 375 F.
Bake for 1 hour, or until the crust is cooked and turns a delicious golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the pie cool on a cooling rack.
As the pie is cooling, apply another layer of melted butter to the crust and sprinkle the cardamon sugar
on the crust.
Serve with freshly whipped cream or ice cream!
