Ingredients
Unbaked gluten-free pie shell
2 (9-inch each)
Plums
4 cups (sliced)
Minute tapioca
3 tablespoons (none)
Sugar
1/3 cup (plus 1/2 teaspoon divided)
Cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon (ground)
Lemon juice
2 teaspoons (freshly squeezed)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and position a rack on the bottom shelf.
2
Carefully roll out one of the gluten-free pie shells to form the top crust and set aside.
3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced plums with the minute tapioca. Let the mixture sit for about 15 minutes to allow the tapioca to absorb some of the plum juices.
4
Add 1/3 cup of sugar and the ground cinnamon to the plum mixture. Stir gently to ensure that the plums are evenly coated with the sugar and cinnamon.
5
Transfer the plum mixture into the bottom pie shell, arranging it evenly. Sprinkle the freshly squeezed lemon juice over the filling for a touch of brightness.
6
Moisten the edge of the bottom crust with a little water to help seal the pie. Carefully place the rolled-out top crust over the filling.
7
Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges to seal the pie. Use a sharp knife to cut slashes in the top for steam vents.
8
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of sugar evenly over the top crust.
9
Bake the pie on the preheated bottom shelf of your oven for approximately 1 hour, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
10
Allow the pie to cool slightly before serving. Slice and enjoy your Heavenly Gluten-Free Plum Delight Pie!
