Plum pie is a refined dessert of European cuisine that combines the tenderness of the dough with the bright fruit acidity. Its history traces back to traditional village recipes where seasonal fruits were used to give sweet pastries a special flavor. Plums baked with cinnamon sugar caramelize, creating a fragrant, slightly crispy crust, while the soft dough soaked in fruit juice makes the pie juicy and airy. This pie is perfect for cozy family breakfasts as well as festive tea gatherings. It pairs wonderfully with a cup of hot tea or coffee, highlighting the balance of sweetness and light acidity of plums. Simple to make yet incredibly delicious, this pie will become a favorite dessert on your table.
