Ingredients

For the pie

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Line a 9" pie plate with the pie crust, fluting the edges. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.

🧊 Chilling the pie crust helps to prevent shrinking during baking, ensuring a perfect shape!

  1. Prepare the Plums: Wash the plums, pat them dry, and cut them in half lengthwise to remove the pits.

  2. Arrange the Plums: Take the chilled pie crust out of the refrigerator and begin placing the plums in the pie plate slantwise and overlapping, starting from the outside and working towards the center.

  3. Sweeten Up: Once the dough is well covered with the plums, sprinkle the sugar evenly over the top.

  4. Creamy Topping: In a bowl, beat the egg and sweet or sour cream until smooth. Carefully spoon this mixture over the arranged plums.

  5. Final Touch: Add another light sprinkle of sugar on top and dot with small bits of butter for extra richness!

  6. Bake to Perfection: Place the pie in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C). After 15 minutes, reduce the heat to 400°F (200°C) and continue baking for another 25 minutes until the plums are bubbly and the crust is golden.

  7. Cool and Serve: Once baked, place the pie on a rack to cool. You may add an optional light dusting of sugar on top before serving.

🍑 For an extra flavor twist, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the sugar before sprinkling it on the plums!
