Quick Plum Pie
8 servings
45 minutes
Quick plum pie is the embodiment of European home comfort. This recipe originates from traditional village pies where fresh seasonal fruits were the main decoration of the pastry. The delicate dough infused with vanilla and cinnamon aromas creates a harmonious duet with sweet and juicy plums. During baking, the fruits slightly caramelize, giving the pie a refined taste with a hint of tartness. It is served warm, dusted with powdered sugar, making the dessert especially cozy in cold weather. This pie is perfect for a quick family breakfast or a heartfelt tea time with guests, and due to its simplicity, it can be made even on a weekday when you crave some sweet comfort.
