Ingredients

Pie

• 4 cups sliced fresh plums
• ½ cup white granulated sugar
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 ea. 9-inch unbaked deep dish pastry shell

Topping

• ½ cup white granulated sugar
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 3 tablespoon cold butter or margarine

Procedure

1. In a bowl, combine the plums, sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Transfer them to the pastry shell.
2. For the topping, combine the sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small bowl; cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle over the pie filling.
3. Bake at 375°F for 50–60 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown. Cover edges of crust during the last 20 minutes to prevent over-browning.
4. Cool on a wire rack.
