Plum Crumble Pie Recipes

PLUM CRUMBLE PIE

Steps:

• Lightly flour your work surface. Roll the pie dough to a 15-inch (38-cm) circle with a thickness of 1/8 inch (3 mm). Gently fold the pie dough in half and then in half again and transfer the pie dough to a 10-inch deep-dish pie plate. Place the pointed tip of folded dough in the center of the pie pan and gently unfold the pie crust, pressing the dough onto the bottom of the pie plate and tucking the dough into the edges and sides of the pan.
• Roll any dough hanging over the edge of the pie plate under itself and, if desired, flute the edge. Place the formed pie shell in the freezer for at least 1 hour before baking.
• Place the sugar and vanilla bean in a medium bowl. Rub the sugar and vanilla bean together with your fingertips to remove all the seeds. Add the cornstarch and mix until combined.
• Add the sliced plums and bourbon and toss to coat the plums well. Set aside at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour, sugar, brown sugar, and salt on low speed for 1 minute.
• Gradually add the butter and mix on low speed until pea-size lumps form, 3 to 5 minutes. Do not overmix; the mixture should resemble wet sand. To test it for doneness, take a handful of topping, squeeze, and then unclench. The topping should hold together for 5 to 10 seconds before crumbling apart. (You can cover and refrigerate the topping for up to 2 weeks.)
• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Remove the chilled pie crust from the freezer and place it on a rimmed baking sheet. Line the pie crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights, dried beans, or uncooked rice.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the exposed crust is golden. Remove the parchment paper and pie weights and continue to bake, uncovered, until the bottom of the pie crust is a light shade of golden brown, about 10 minutes more.
• Remove the vanilla bean from the plum mixture and discard. Fill the pie crust with the plum filling. Cover with the crumble topping. (You don't have to use all the crumble topping, but trust us when we say that you'll be glad if you did.)
• Place the pie on a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet 180° and continue to bake until the plum filling bubbles, the juices thicken into a jam, and the crumble topping is golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes more.
• Let cool for 2 hours before slicing and serving.

PLUM PIE WITH CRUMBLE

Steps:

• For the pie: place flour on the work surface in a pile, make a well in the center. Add baking powder, sugar and egg to the well. Cut butter into small pieces and place around the well. Chop all ingredients with a knife until crumbly. Quickly knead until smooth dough forms. Wrap dough into plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
• Rinse, halve and pit plums. Roll out dough on a floured work surface until slightly larger than pan size. Dust with flour and line buttered pan with dough, making 3 cm (approximately 1 1/4 inch) edge all around. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs and prick with a fork several times. Arrange plum halves on the dough. For the crumble: melt butter in a small saucepan. Combine flour with sugar, gradually add butter, stirring constantly. Process with your fingers until crumbly. Sprinkle over plums. Bake cake on the middle rack in preheated oven at 180°C (aproximately 350°F) for about 35-40 minutes. Remove from oven and cool. Serve.

• Make the crust: In a food processor, briefly pulse together flour and salt. Add butter and pulse until mixture forms chickpea-size pieces (3 to 5 one-second pulses). Add ice water 1 tablespoon at a time, up to 6 tablespoons, pulsing occasionally until mixture is just moist enough to hold together. Form dough into a ball, wrap with plastic and flatten into a disk. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
• Make the chutney: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring vinegar, 2 tablespoons water, brown sugar, star anise, cinnamon stick, rosemary sprig, ginger root, pepper, cardamom and salt to a simmer, stirring to help dissolve sugar. Add a third of the plums and let mixture simmer until thickened, stirring frequently, 20 to 30 minutes. Let cool, then discard star anise, cinnamon stick and rosemary.
• Meanwhile, toss remaining plums, granulated sugar, orange zest and tapioca in a bowl and let sit for 20 minutes. (If your plums are tart, add more sugar to taste.)
• Lightly flour a work surface and rolling pin. Gently roll out dough to fit a 9-inch pie pan, dusting with flour if dough is sticking. Fold dough in half and transfer to pie pan. Carefully press crust into pan and crimp edges. Return pie to refrigerator for 20 minutes. While crust chills, heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Gently press foil into pie crust and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Transfer to oven and bake for 18 minutes. Remove the foil and pie weights and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until crust is a light golden brown. Transfer to a rack to cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, prepare the crumb topping: In a small bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves and salt. Using your hands, work in butter until the dry ingredients are completely incorporated into butter and large, marble-size clumps form when pinched. Let sit in refrigerator while assembling pie.
• Mix chutney into uncooked plums. Pour filling into crust and cover with crumb topping. Turn oven down to 350 degrees and place pie on a baking sheet on middle rack in oven.
