Plum Pie with a hint of cinnamon and a golden pastry made from scratch, a delicious Autumn dessert. The plums are soft, but they still have a nice bite to them, and the brown sugar and cinnamon add a lovely dark colour.

Instructions

To make the filling, wash, pit and chop the plums.
Add them to a bowl together with the brown sugar and cinnamon.
Mix well to coat the plums well.
To make the crust, use a hand mixer to beat the eggs with a pinch of salt.
Add the sugar, and continue to mix until you get a pale colour and smooth texture.
Pour in the milk and oil together with the vanilla extract, then gradually add the sifted flour and use your hands to knead until you get a smooth dough that does not stick the hands.
Cut the dough in half.
Roll the first half in a circle, and arrange it over the bottom of a pie tin.
Fill it with the plums.
The second half of the dough will be rolled and cut into strips, and arrange in a lattice shape over the top of the pie, cutting the excess dough from the edges.
Beat the remaining egg well, and brush the top of the pie with it.
Bake in the preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit) for 20-25 minutes or until golden.
