Plum pie with caramelized plums and cinnamon is an exquisite treat infused with the aroma of warm Italian evenings. This dessert combines tender dough soaked in butter and sugar with juicy plums enveloped in caramel sweetness. Light notes of cinnamon add depth to the flavor, creating a harmony of spices and fruits. The recipe's origins can be traced back to Tuscan cuisine traditions where fruits are often caramelized to enhance their natural sweetness. The pie pairs wonderfully with a cup of strong coffee or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, turning any tea time into a true gastronomic symphony. Its firm texture and rich flavor make it perfect for cozy home evenings as well as festive gatherings. It seems to absorb the atmosphere of hospitality and joy, reminding us of the simple yet priceless pleasures of life.

Add sugar to a pot, mix well and leave on low heat. Cut the plums in half. When the sugar starts to dissolve, add the plums (the caramel may clump due to temperature changes, but this is temporary). Cook the plums on low heat for about 5 minutes, then remove them. The caramel should remain liquid.
