The French plum pie with crumb topping is one of the most scrumptious pies you will ever eat. The plums are cooked to perfection and the crust is flaky and delicious.
1 (9-inch size) unbaked pie shell
Filling
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 cups peeled, pitted, and sliced plums
Topping
6 tablespoons butter
6 tablespoons brown sugar
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Combine the sugar, cinnamon, and flour for the filling in a large bowl. Add the plums and toss gently to coat the plums in the mixture. Transfer the plums and any of the sugar mixture to the unbaked pie shell.
Combine the butter, brown sugar, and flour for the topping in a bowl and mix until fine and crumbly. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the plums.
Place the pie in the oven and bake at 400 degrees F for 35-40 minutes.
Remove the pie from the oven and let cool until just warm. The pie can be served slightly warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
