My plums weren't very ripe so I thought the pie was way too tart (my fault, not the recipe!) Anyhow, my husband and kids LOVED it! My 8 yr old usually picks the fruit out of pies, but he gobbled this up. It is a delicious recipe and I'll be making it again with plums from my dads tree.

My pie sank in the middle, needs more filling or crumb topping. I chose to use firmer plums but it made the pie kind of sour, had to pair it with vanilla ice cream to balance it out. Will make again, good way to use up plums from our plum tree.

Simply amazing! This is such a wonder, olde fashioned pie. I added a bit of chopped mint fresh from the garden and it gave an extra special something. Everyone oooh'd and awwww'd!

Excellent pie. Not too sweet, and mildly tart. I omitted the lemon because I did not have it, and added an extra tablespoon of butter to the crumb topping. It tasted delicious, and was a great way to use up plums that no one wanted to eat. Of course, everyone wanted to eat the pie!

One of the best pies I've ever had! I used limes instead of lemons because I love them. This pie rocked my world.

I omitted the pie crust (decreased some of the fat & calories) and made this into a crisp. I substituted 1/2 the amount of sugar in the filling and the topping with Splenda and I substituted 1/2 the amount of flour in the topping with oats. Very tasty.

AMAZING! My husband said this was the best recipe I'd ever found on the site and I've been using Allrecipes for years. I bought a big bucket of plums at Costco and we just weren't eating them fast enough so I needed a way to use them up. From now on I'll be buying extra plumbs for the express purpose of making this pie. I was worried about the top layer not incorporating with the filling, but it's perfect. It creates a crunchy sweet crust that is to die for.

Fabulous! I used this recipe with some plums I got from the grocery store that were not sweet at all. I used puff pastry sheets instead of pie crust and an 8 x 11 dish. It turned out delicious. And as another reviewer wrote, it tastes just like the McDonald's apple pie.

This is the best pie I have ever had (and I used to work at a pie restaurant!)! It is also the first pie I have ever baked and it was so easy. I use the basic flaky pie crust recipe from this site (also great) and it held up so well. I didn't have enough plums so I added blueberries and blackberries to make it 4 cups of fruit. So good. So good. So good.

Excellent! This pie was soo good and so easy to make (I cheated and used store-bought crust but it saved lots of time)! Fantastic way to use plums from our backyard tree so they don't go to waste.

This was an awesome dessert, but a little too tart for my husband. I made it again and added in a cup of blueberries and more sugar and only put in 3 cups of plums. I also followed the advice of another reviewer and cooked the plums/blueberries with the sugar for 4 minutes in the microwave prior to adding to the crust. I used plums right out of my yard and did not peel. I used the all recipes Best Flaky crust recipe and that definitely was a success. I have found with that recipe for easy cleanup I rolled out between cling wrap and crust did not stick to the cling wrap as it did the second time when I used the wax paper. I also put this into a 8 1/2 by 11 casserole dish and baked for 50 minutes and I did not cover the tops of the crusts.

I wasn't really expecting much from this recipe - I don't really love plums and I'm not sure I've ever had a plum pie before. But I was looking for a way to use up a bunch of them - and I was thrilled with the results. It turned out perfectly - the only adjustment was I added a bit more butter (1 more T.) to the topping since there didn't seem to be enough when I was cutting it into crumbs. You will enjoy this, even if you don't necessarily like plums. Excellent!
