Vanilla Plum Crumble Pie Recipe

• , shaped, crimped, and chilled in a pie plate
• 8 tablespoons butter, softened
• 3/4 cup light brown sugar
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 12-14 red or Italian plums, pitted and cut into eighths
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch or 1/4 cup instant tapioca
• Seeds from 1 vanilla bean pod

1. Preheat the oven to 425u0b0 Fahrenheit. In a medium sized bowl, combine softened butter and brown sugar and beat together by hand until mixture is homogenous and smooth. Stir in the oats, flour, and salt. Mix until incorporated and place in the fridge to cool for 30 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, combine plums, cornstarch or tapioca, sugar, and the seeds scraped from the inside of a vanilla bean. Toss to coat the fruit and to mix in vanilla. Allow to sit for five minutes.
3. Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared crust. Top the fruit with clumps of the chilled topping, taking care to keep them rugged and irregular. Bake the pie at 425u0b0 for 15 minutes, rotating halfway through, then reduce the heat to 375u0b0 and continue baking for an additional 30-40 minutes, until the filling is bubbling all over. Allow the pie to cool for at least 45 minutes before serving.
