How to Make Perfect Plum Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  3. Gently fold in 6 cups peeled and sliced plums.
  4. Pour plum mixture into a 9-inch unbaked pie crust.
  5. For the topping: In a separate bowl, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of nutmeg.
  6. Cut in 1/2 cup cold unsalted margarine using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the plum filling.
  8. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil.
  9. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm (but it's delicious at room temperature, too!)
