-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 cups fresh plums (about 1 1/2 pounds) -- sliced
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 unbaked deep-dish pastry shell (9 inches)
Topping:
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 tablespoons cold butter or margarine
In a bowl, combine the first six ingredients; pour into the pastry shell.
For topping, combine sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small bowl; cut
in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle over filling.
Bake at 375 degrees for 50-60 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown.
Cover edges of crust during the last 20 minutes to prevent overbrowning.
Cool on a wire rack. Yield: 8 servings.
