Ingredients
- Fruit filling
-
2 cups
sliced plums, skins on (from 1½-2lbs plums)
-
1 cup
blackberries
-
1/2 cup
granulated sugar
-
1 teaspoon
finely grated lemon zest
-
2 teaspoons
lemon juice
-
1 teaspoon
Frangelico
-
2 tablespoons
cornstarch
-
2 teaspoons
kosher salt
-
1
batch of basic pie dough
- Frangipane
-
3/4 cup
hazelnuts, toasted and cooled
-
1/2 cup
granulated sugar
-
2 tablespoons
all-purpose flour
-
2
large eggs
-
1 tablespoon
Frangelico
-
1/4 teaspoon
kosher salt
Directions
-
Divide pie crust into 8 equal pieces by cutting it in half, then in half again. Roll out each piece into a rough 6 inch circle and stack them up on parchment paper. Refrigerate for two hours minimium. This is a great step to do a day ahead.
-
Preheat oven to 350°.
-
Rub loose skins off hazelnuts, leaving any that cling. Grind hazelnuts and ⅓ cup sugar in the food processor into a fine paste, 2-3 minutes. Add butter, flour, Frangelico, salt, and one egg. Pulse until smooth and set aside.
-
Slice your plums into ¼ inch wedges and toss with ½ cup sugar and Frangelico.
-
Beat the other egg with 1 tsp. of water and set on the table next to all the other components. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper and have a pastry brush handy.
-
Add a heaping tablespoon to the centre of a disc of dough and spread in a circle, leaving a 1" border. Brush the border with egg wash. Spoon some fruit onto the frangipane, and fold the edges in, tucking each fold into the next, making little nests for your fruit fillling.
-
Brush egg wash over outer ring of pie dough, and sprinkle with large crystal sugar, if you have any. Otherwise regular sugar will do.
-
Pop them into the oven and cook for 35-35 minutes, checking after 30 minutes. The crust should be golden brown and the plums and blackberries entirely softened.
-
Cool on a wire rack for one hour. Serve with ice cream, if you like. Or just eat out of hand, without even taking the time to get a plate.
