The subtle tastes of orange and nutmeg bring out the fresh flavor of plums in this comforting pie. Be sure to have a slice while it's still warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. —Lucille Mead, Ilion, New York

Ingredients
- Dough for double-crust pie
- 4-1/2 cups sliced fresh plums
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 large egg, room temperature, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Vanilla ice cream, optional
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400°. On a lightly floured surface, roll half the dough to 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate or cast-iron skillet. Trim even with rim. Arrange plums in crust. In a small bowl, combine sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg. Stir in egg, orange juice and zest. Pour over plums; dot with butter.
- Roll out remaining dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle. Place over filling. Trim, seal and flute edge. Cut slits in top.
- Bake until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly (cover edge with foil during the last 15 minutes if needed to prevent overbrowning), 45-50 minutes. Remove foil. Cool on a wire rack 10 minutes before cutting. If desired, serve warm with ice cream.
