Mmm, Pie

Fruit pies are so delicious, and I don't really feel guilty eating them because they are mostly made of fruit. The crust, however, is a whole different story. I got this recipe off of smittenkitchen.com, and the basis of its appeal was not only that it was an apple & plum combo (YUM), but also that it was a single crust pie (no bottom crust). Now, I know what you're thinking, "the crust is the best part of a pie..." But I'm telling you, you will not miss the bottom crust because the top layer of crust is SO delicious. It tastes like a buttery, sugar cookie. Yikes, so good!









Things to keep in mind when making this pie:
a) You WILL make a mess and get flour all over yourself
b) Your dough WILL stick to you rolling pin if not refrigerated long enough.
Happened to me twice! Beginner's luck

Plum Jam





By the way, Jam is SO easy to make. 4 ingredients: plums, sugar, H20, cinnamon.
Simmer for 1 hour on the stove. Wish I had a prettier jar to put it in though.
More pictures on 35mm and 120 film coming soon! Thanks for looking!
