Easiest "Pie" you will ever make!

Is it a Pie or is it a Tart?
Oven 425

1 "Store bought" pie crust (that you roll out)
1/4C fig jam**
1# plums**
1 egg w water for egg wash
1/2C sugar (raw cane if you have it)
  • Take pie crust out of fridge and get to room temp. Roll out flat onto cookie sheet.
  • Take jam and spread out on crust
  • Take fruit and layout toward the middle and stack up around the center.
  • Fold edges of pie crust around the fruit just to keep it from falling out, leaving most of the fruit exposed at the top.
  • Brush edges with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.
Bake @425 for 45 minutes. If you use parchment paper on a cookie sheet it is much cleaner. If you have no parchment paper just make sure you grease your cookie sheet.

If you have diabetic friends, you can leave off the sugar if you choose. And you can use sugar free jam.

**Fruits: any pitted fruit and jam that sounds yummy with it.

How easy is that? Even without the sugar it is really yummy - I did a strawberries and rhubarb jam -of course I used the sugar. But the first time I had it, it didnt have any. All Fruit Jam and no sugar on the crust.
