Ingredients with Measurements:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 3-4 tablespoons ice water
- 4 cups sliced plums
- 2 cups peeled and diced potatoes
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
Special equipment needed:
- 9-inch pie dish
- rolling pin
- pastry cutter or fork
- mixing bowls
- measuring cups and spoons
- sharp knife
Step-by-step instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the chilled and cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together.
4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle that is slightly larger than the pie dish. Transfer the dough to the pie dish and trim the edges.
5. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the sliced plums, diced potatoes, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. Mix well.
6. Pour the plum and potato mixture into the prepared pie crust. Drizzle the melted butter over the top.
7. Bake the pie for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
8. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
