Description

This Plum Lattice Pie is a delightful dessert featuring a double crust filled with juicy, ripe plums tossed in a sweet and spiced mixture. The classic lattice top crust adds a rustic charm and crunch, making it a perfect summer treat to enjoy with family and friends.

Ingredients

Pie Crust

  • 1 recipe double pie crust (homemade or store-bought)

Filling

  • 6 cups ripe plums, pitted and sliced
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pie Crust: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges and refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
  2. Make the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the sliced plums, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, salt, and vanilla extract. Toss gently to coat the plums evenly. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to thicken slightly.
  3. Assemble the Pie: Pour the plum filling into the chilled pie crust, spreading it out evenly. Roll out the second crust and cut it into 1/2-inch strips. Lay half of the strips horizontally across the pie, then weave the remaining strips vertically over and under to create a lattice pattern. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges to seal.
  4. Add Egg Wash and Sugar: Brush the lattice crust and edges with the beaten egg to achieve a golden finish. Sprinkle coarse sugar on top if using, for added crunch and sweetness.
  5. Bake the Pie: Place the pie in the oven and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes. Then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 30 to 35 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
  6. Cool Before Serving: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely before slicing. This cooling step allows the filling to set and ensures clean slices.

Notes

  • Use firm-ripe plums for the best texture and flavor.
  • If the pie crust edges start to brown too quickly during baking, cover them with foil to prevent burning.
  • Allow the pie to cool fully before cutting to avoid a runny filling.
