How to Make Plum Good Pie By Southern Living

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
**Make the pastry:** In a large bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, using a pastry blender or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in 2 tablespoons white vinegar and 1/2 cup ice water, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and form into a disc. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a lightly greased 10-inch pie plate.
Trim and crimp the edges. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork.
Blind bake the crust: Line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 10 minutes.
Remove the weights and parchment paper and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until lightly golden.
**Prepare the filling:** Wash and pit 4-5 lbs ripe plums. Cut each plum into 8 wedges.
Sprinkle 1/4 cup all-purpose flour evenly over the bottom of the partially baked crust.
Arrange plum wedges in the crust, overlapping slightly.
In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the plums.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs.
Pour the eggs evenly over the plums and cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
