Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pie crust
1 pound of Italian Prunes (or Stanley plums)
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
3 tablespoons flour (or tapioca or fruit filling thickener of your own choice)
fig jam (or apricot jam)
2 pats butter, cut into small cubes
1 egg with a little water, well beaten for an egg wash
Turbinado or regular sugar

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Pit and slice the plums into bite-sized slices. In a bowl, sweeten the plums with sugar and cinnamon-- adjust to your taste. The plums can be a little tart. I use a pie filling enhancer from King Arthur, but you can use tapioca or flour if you prefer, to thicken the filling. On a baking sheet, lined with parchment paper, set the pie crust and add an even layer of jam, leaving a 1 1'2" border. Layer the plums on top and dot with butter. Brush the pastry edge with the egg wash and sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 350°F for about 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool until slightly warm and enjoy with fresh whipped cream or even ice cream. Fold the crust over, to create a "rustic" edge.
