Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Filling

Begin by preheating your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).

While the oven warms up, take a large mixing bowl and combine the sliced plums and apples.

Add a sprinkle of sugar to taste and mix gently to coat the fruits evenly. This will enhance their sweetness while baking.

Step 2

Make the Dough

In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.

In a separate bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.

Then, add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly before incorporating the dry ingredients.

Stir until a smooth dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour as needed.

Step 3

Assemble the Pie

Roll out two-thirds of the dough on a lightly floured surface to fit your pie dish.

Carefully transfer the rolled dough to the pie dish and fill it with the prepared plum and apple mixture, spreading it evenly.

Roll out the remaining dough to create a top for your pie, gently placing it over the filling.

Seal the edges by crimping them with a fork or pinching them with your fingers for a decorative touch.

Step 4

Bake the Pie

Place the assembled pie in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

Once done, remove the pie from the oven and allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.

This cooling time will help the filling set slightly and enhance the flavors.

Step 5

Your delicious plum apple pie is now ready to be enjoyed! Serve it warm or at room temperature, possibly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.

Variations

If you're on a gluten-free or vegan journey, don't worry; you can still enjoy this delectable pastry! For a **gluten-free** version, swap out regular flour for a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Additionally, ensure all your ingredients, such as baking powder, are gluten-free!

For a **vegan** alternative, replace the butter with coconut oil or a plant-based butter, and use a flaxseed egg (1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water) instead of a regular egg. This way, you can indulge in a delicious pie while adhering to your dietary choices! 🌱🍰

Faq

  • What if my pie crust is too crumbly?

    If your pie crust is crumbling, it may need more moisture. Try adding a tiny bit of cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough holds together.

  • How can I tell when my pie is done baking?

    Your pie is ready when the crust is golden brown, and the filling is bubbling. Keep an eye on it towards the end of the baking time!

  • Can I use frozen fruit for this recipe?

    Absolutely! Just make sure to thaw and drain any excess juice to avoid a soggy pie.

  • How do I store leftovers to keep them fresh?

    Store any uneaten pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It can last up to 3-4 days!

  • Can I freeze this pie?

    Yes! You can freeze the pie before or after baking. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil before storing in the freezer for up to 2 months.

  • How can I make my pie crust flaky?

    Chill your ingredients and work quickly. Also, avoid over-mixing; a few visible pieces of butter in the dough can help create a flakier texture.
