Description

Juicy plum halves sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar bake into a deliciously sweet filling in this easy plum dessert tart that's easy enough to make and serve any day of the week.

Ingredients

1 (9 inch) refrigerated pie crust dough
1/2 teaspoon unsalted butter, or as needed
10 medium plums, or more as needed, halved and pitted
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup white sugar, or more to taste
1 tablespoon powdered sugar

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch tart pan with butter.
2 Roll out the pie dough and press crust into the prepared pan.
3 Arrange plums snugly, cut-sides down, on the crust. Sprinkle with cinnamon, then sprinkle with 1/4 cup sugar, or up to 1/2 cup depending on the sweetness of the plums.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until the tops of the plums are slightly browned and the juices are bubbling, 15 to 20 minutes.
5 Remove from the oven and let rest until the juices have set, 10 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle with a bit of powdered sugar, cut, and serve.
