Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1 tablespoon (8g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon (3g) fine sea salt
- 4 tablespoons (60ml) ice-cold water
- 1 1/2 lbs (680g) fresh plums, sliced into eighths
- 1/3 cup (65g) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon (8g) cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon (1g) ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon (5ml) pure vanilla extract
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon (12g) turbinado sugar
Instructions:
- Whisk flour, salt, and sugar in a bowl.
- Use a pastry cutter to work the chilled butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized lumps remaining.
- Drizzle in ice water one tablespoon at a time, stirring with a fork until the dough just holds together.
- Shape dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- In a medium bowl, toss sliced plums with lemon juice and vanilla extract.
- Sprinkle in the sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Gently toss to coat.
- On a floured surface, roll the chilled dough into a 12-inch rough circle and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Pile the fruit in the center, leaving a 2-inch border of dough.
- Fold the edges of the dough over the fruit, overlapping as you go, leaving the center open.
- Brush the crust with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 30–35 minutes until the crust is deep gold and the juices are bubbling.
