The crust for this is amazing, combining luscious things like sour cream, heavy cream, butter, heaps of sugar and lemon zest. When it 's rolled out and fitted into a pie tin, it 's filled with sugared plums sprinkled with nutmeg and cinnamon. Then it 's topped with a brown sugar and spice streusel, and baked.
