How to Make Golden Crumble Plum Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup polenta, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in 1 large egg and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until a soft dough forms.
  5. Grease a 9-inch springform pan. Press 2/3 of the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the pan.
  6. Wrap the remaining dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate.
  7. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons polenta.
  8. Cut 4 cups plums in half and remove pits. Arrange cut-side down in the prepared crust.
  9. Sprinkle the sugar-polenta mixture evenly over the plums.
  10. Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator and crumble it over the plums. Mix the crumbled dough with 1/2 cup rolled oats and sprinkle evenly over the plums.
  11. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons raw sugar over the crumble topping.
  12. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  13. Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes before releasing the springform.
  14. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  15. Serve warm or at room temperature with a dollop of custard or whipped cream.
