Ingredients:
For the crust:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tbsp ice water
For the filling:
- 6-8 ripe plums, pitted and sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the chilled butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Add the egg yolk and ice water to the mixture and stir until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball and wrap it in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
4. In another mixing bowl, combine the sliced plums, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and cornstarch. Toss until the plums are evenly coated.
5. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface until it's about 1/4 inch thick. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch tart pan and press it into the bottom and sides of the pan. Trim off any excess dough.
6. Pour the spiced plum mixture into the tart shell and spread it out evenly.
7. Bake the tart for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
8. Let the tart cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
