Quick Plum Pie Freezer Recipe

Ingredients:

2 tbsp. lemon juice
4 C. purple plums, pitted and sliced
1 C. sugar
2 tbsp. quick cooking tapioca
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
Frozen pie crust (2 crusts)
2 tbsp. butter

Instructions: In a large mixing bowl, combine plum slices and lemon juice. In a small bowl, combine tapioca, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir into plum mixture. Let stand 15 minutes.

To freeze mixture: Place a long sheet of foil in your empty pie plate. Pour filling into plate. Cover and freeze, either a few hours or overnight (filling will take the shape of the pie– convenient!). Remove from pie plate when frozen, if desired. Can be frozen for up to 6 months.

To bake the pie: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Remove pie crust from freezer and allow frozen crust to come to room temperature. Roll and form it for a two-crust pie as you normally would.

Place the filling inside the first crust and dot with the butter. Place the second crust on top and flute crust or crimp with a fork. Slice 4 slices into the top crust to let the steam release.

Bake 45 minutes, or until crust is golden brown.
