By Foodiewife

This tart has a layer of fig jam and with a generous sprinkling of cinnamon sugar. This is super fast to make, and such a special treat.

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Pit and slice the plums into bite-sized slices. In a bowl, sweeten the plums with sugar and cinnamon-- adjust to your taste. The plums can be a little tart.
I use a pie filling enhancer from King Arthur, but you can use tapioca or flour if you prefer, to thicken the filling.

On a baking sheet, lined with parchment paper, set the pie crust and add an even layer of jam, leaving a 1 1'2" border.

Layer the plums on top and dot with butter.

Brush the pastry edge with the egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.

Bake at 350°F for about 25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Cool until slightly warm and enjoy with fresh whipped cream or even ice cream.

Fold the crust over, to create a "rustic" edge.
