Plum Galette

I have made this twice in the last week! The recipe is Martha Stewart... you can see the original "fancy" recipe here.

I didn't use all her ingredients or do all of her steps... here is my adapted recipe:

Plum Galette

-1 prepared pie crust (if you are in a store where you have a choice of pie crusts, look for one that is specifically for tarts or fruits... pate sucrée or pate sablée)

-1 tablespoon sugar

-1 tablespoon all purpose flour

-1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

-5 cups of pitted plums, sliced about 1/4" thick

-1 large egg

-1 teaspoon water

Unroll pie crust into pie dish and prick with fork. Place plum slices in a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix together sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Pour flour mixture over plum slices and mix well until evenly coated. Place coated plums into the pie dish and fold the excess pie crust over the sides of the plums. Mix together the egg and water in a small bowl and brush the egg wash on the folded pie crust. Bake at 375 for 45 minutes or until pie crust is golden brown and plum mixture is bubbling.
