I can never resist a tart, tempting slice of this beautiful pie. It's a down-home dessert that makes any meal special. This pie is a terrific way to put bountiful summer plums to use. —Michelle Beran, Claflin, Kansas

Ingredients

4 cups sliced fresh plums (about 1-1/2 pounds)
1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 tablespoons cold butter

Directions

In a large bowl, sprinkle plums with lemon juice. Combine the sugar, flour, salt and cinnamon. Add to plums; toss gently to coat. Pour into pie shell.
For topping, in a small bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg; cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over filling.
Bake at 375° for 50-60 minutes or until filling is bubbly. Cover edges of crust during the last 20 minutes to prevent overbrowning. Cool on a wire rack. Yield: 8 servings.

We have trees in AZ that are sometimes called "Mock Plum" trees with teeny, tart, cherry-sized plums. They're edible, but no one usually eats them because they're a bit too sour. But the plum flavor is nice, so I'm going to make this pie tomorrow to see if we can make use of these little fruits. Looks like a wonderful recipe.
