Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Step 2

Cover filling with remaining pie crust. Flute the edges to seal or use a fork dipped in egg to press them down. Brush remaining egg on top, then cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 3

Line the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate with one pie crust. Set second crust aside.

Step 4

Place plums into a large bowl. Stir in sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla, and almond extract with a rubber spatula until well combined. Spoon into a prepared pie crust.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until filling is bubbly and crust is golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
