Equipment

  • Digital Food Scale
  • Stand Mixer
  • Half Sheet Pan
  • Parchment Paper Sheets
  • Pastry Brush

Ingredients
 
 

Crust

  • 127 grams all purpose flour (plus extra for rolling)
  • 1 teaspoon cane sugar
  • 113 grams salted butter (cold)
  • ¼ cup cold water

Filling

  • 8 to 10 plums (mine were small, so less if you have larger ones)
  • 57 grams cane sugar
  • 43 grams raw honey
  • 21 grams all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Topping

  • 1 tablespoon raw honey
  • 1 tablespoon water

Instructions
 

  • To make the crust: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the flour and cane sugar.
  • Remove butter from the fridge and chop into small cubes, the smaller your cubes are the flakier your crust. I recommend at least cutting the sticks of butter into 4 and then chop into small cubes from there.
  • Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture. Measure out cold water and have ready.
  • Turn mixer on low and slowly start to incorporate all the ingredients. Gradually turn mixer to medium speed. Once the butter mixture looks like wet sand, immediately add in all the water. As soon as the dough comes together, stop mixer.
  • Using your hands, form the dough into a disk and place in plastic wrap. Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Add the cane sugar, honey, flour, cornstarch, and cinnamon to a large mixing bowl.
  • Slice the plums into thin slices. Add plums to the mixing bowl with the sugar.
  • Remove the pie dough from the fridge. Remove the plastic wrap and place on a floured surface. Roll out the into a square that is 1/4-inch thick, it should be about 10 inches diameter.
  • Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet. Transfer the filling onto the pie crust, leaving about a 1-inch boarder of crust around the sides.
  • Fold the excess dough into the middle to create the crust.
  • To make the topping: In a small dish, add the honey and water. Microwave for 20 seconds to melt the honey. Brush the top of the crust with the honey and sprinkle with sliced almonds.
  • Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
  • Allow to cool completely on the baking sheet. Sprinkle the top with turbinado sugar before serving (optional).

Notes

Tips
  • Make sure your butter is cold, this is key for flaky pie crust. If you're new to making pie, check out How to Make Pie Crust in a Mixer for more tips and tricks.
  • If you don't have plums, you can also make this with peaches or apricots too.
  • This is a great dessert to make in advance as it really does need to have time for the filling to set. So, if you want to make a day in advance, that's okay. Just store in a cool, dry place.
  • This is amazing with a scoop of ice cream on top! Try it with my Salted Caramel No Churn Ice Cream.
  • High Altitude — Bake at 400°F for 30 to 35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
