Rustic Plum Tart

Ingredients

  • 1 Frozen pie crust*
  • 1 1/2 lbs plums (a less juicy variety) quartered, pitted and sliced 1/4 thick*
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg yolk mixed with 1 tsp water (for egg wash)*

Directions


  1. Thaw frozen pie crust. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Flour a large (about 16 inches long) piece of parchment paper. Place dough on paper. Lightly flour the top of the dough to prevent sticking; roll dough out to a 14" round. Transfer dough (still on parchment) to prepared baking sheet.
  2. Preheat oven to 400*F
  3. In a large bowl, toss together plums, sugar, and flour. Mound plum mixture in center of prepared crust, leaving a 2" border all around. Fold border over fruit in a pleated pattern. Brush dough with egg wash.
  4. Bake tart until crust is brown and filling is bubbling, about 45 minutes. Transfer baking sheet to a rack; let cool 20 minutes. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
