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

I entered this pie in our work pie contest and took 1st place. It was easy to make and really tasty too. I will be making this again and putting this in my go to for easy desserts.
Think this is the best tasting pie I have ever made, and I have made quite a few. Delicious!! I used prunes from our tree which is loaded with fruit this year. I took the pie to pot luck at Church and was the dessert that was eaten the most. One lady took a small piece home to freeze for her sister to bring back childhood memories. I plan on making another pie in a couple of days.
Absolutely delicious. I was looking for new plum recipes as there was a bumper crop of plums this year (Italian Prune). Excellent pie.
Fabulous pie! Very simple and delicious! We had tons of plums and didn't know what to do with them. This pie made a great 4th of July dessert.
This pie was amazing and very easy to make.
A simple easy tasty summer pie! Oh, & pretty too :)
I'm back again this year to make more of these pies! Family and friends are asking for them!
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.
Very good and easy to make.
