How to Make Plum And Nectarine Pie
- **Make the Filling:** In a large bowl, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- Add 4 cups sliced plums and 2 cups sliced nectarines to the bowl.
- Gently toss the fruit until evenly coated with the sugar mixture.
- Set the filling aside.
- **Make the Crust (from scratch):** In a large bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Cut in 1 cup cold shortening or lard using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon ice water over part of the mixture; gently toss with a fork.
- Push the moistened dough to the side of the bowl.
- Repeat, adding 1 tablespoon of ice water at a time, until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
- Divide the dough in half. Form each half into a ball, flatten slightly, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- **Assemble the Pie:** On a lightly floured surface, roll out one dough ball into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer to a 9-inch pie plate.
- Trim and crimp the edges.
- Pour the fruit filling into the pie crust.
- Roll out the second dough ball into a 12-inch circle. Place it over the filling.
- Trim and crimp the edges, cutting slits in the top crust to vent steam.
- Brush the top crust with milk or cream and sprinkle with a mixture of 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon.
- To prevent over-browning, cover the edges of the pie with aluminum foil.
- **Bake:** Bake in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
