Plum pie
Description
I developed this simple plum pie recipe on my own. I originally found it online and have been constantly improving it over time, adding and removing various ingredients. What I've ended up with is what I'm sharing with you now. As you follow the recipe, you'll notice that I arrange the plums differently in the first and second layers—placing them skin-side up in one layer and skin-side down in the other. This is a very important detail! Please pay attention to it. Experience has shown that arranging them this way works best. The plum pie turns out light, delicious, and beautiful. I highly recommend trying it! Serve it warm or chilled. It's perfect with tea.
