Instructions

Step 1

Prepare Streusel

First, prepare the streusel topping. In a bowl, combine *all the ingredients* for the streusel. Using your hands, rub the mixture together until it forms *crumbles*. Place the streusel mixture in the refrigerator while you prepare the rest of the pie.

Step 2

Preheat Oven & Prepare Dry Ingredients

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). In a separate bowl, mix together *flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt*.

Step 3

Cream Butter & Sugar

In a mixing bowl or using a hand mixer, beat the *butter* and *sugar* together at high speed until they are *light and fluffy*, approximately 2 minutes.

Step 4

Add the Eggs

Add the eggs one at a time, beating at *medium speed* after each addition until well incorporated.

Step 5

Combine Wet & Dry Ingredients

Add part of the *flour mixture* to the butter-sugar mixture, beating at *low speed* just until combined. Then add half of the *buttermilk* (or diluted Greek yogurt/sour cream) and beat again. Repeat with the remaining flour and buttermilk. Continue beating until the batter is smooth but do not overmix.

Step 6

Prepare Plum Filling

Slice the *plums* and toss them with *sugar*, *cornstarch*, and *lemon zest* until well mixed.

Step 7

Assemble Pie

Pour the batter into a buttered pie dish (22-26 cm or 9-10 inches in diameter). Evenly distribute the prepared plums on top of the batter. Sprinkle the *streusel* over the plums.

Step 8

Bake

Bake the pie for *45-60 minutes*, depending on your oven. A toothpick inserted into the cake should come out clean.

Enjoy

The pie is ready. Enjoy your delicious plum pie with crispy streusel topping! ♥️

Servings

**Serve this Plum Crumble Pie warm, topped with a dollop of vanilla ice cream.** 🍨 The cold ice cream melting over the warm pie creates a beautiful contrast. For a more elegant touch, try **whipped cream with a sprinkle of nutmeg or cinnamon.** It's a delightful way to enjoy the fall flavors. 🍁

Hosting a brunch? **Pair the pie with a hot cup of coffee or a steaming mug of mulled cider.** The spices in the cider complement the plum filling nicely. If you're looking for something a bit more lavish, consider serving it with a dusting of powdered sugar and some fresh mint leaves for garnish. 🌿

Equipment

Mixer

Helpful for achieving a light and fluffy texture in your batter. If you don't have a stand mixer, a handheld mixer will work just as well.

Variations

Want to make this recipe **gluten-free**? Just substitute the flour with your favorite gluten-free flour blend. Make sure it's a 1:1 substitution to keep the texture intact. 🌟

For a **vegan version**, replace the butter with vegan butter and use flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water equals one egg). Use a vegan yogurt instead of buttermilk, and double-check that your sugars are vegan-friendly. 🌱

Faq

  • Can I use frozen plums instead of fresh?

    Yes, you can! Just make sure to thaw and drain them well to prevent excess moisture from ruining the pie's texture.

  • How do I know when the pie is done?

    Insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, your pie is ready!

  • Can I prepare the crumble ahead of time?

    Absolutely! Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

  • Is it necessary to chill the crumble before baking?

    Chilling helps the crumble maintain a crisp texture. Skipping this step could result in a less crunchy topping.

  • Can I add nuts to the crumble topping?

    Yes, chopped almonds or pecans add a lovely crunch. Just mix them into your crumble before chilling.

  • Can I freeze the pie after baking?

    Yes, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
