What You Need

fresh plums (1 lb.), sliced

cup sugar

1/4

cup MINUTE Tapioca

pkg. (15 oz.) ready-to-use refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)

Tbsp. butter or margarine

Make It

HEAT oven to 400°F.

TOSS plums with sugar and tapioca in large bowl. Let stand 15 min.

LINE 9-inch pie plate with 1 crust as directed on package for 2-crust pie; fill with fruit mixture. Dot with butter. Cover with remaining crust; seal and flute edge. Cut several slits in top crust to permit steam to escape.

BAKE 45 to 50 min. or until juices form bubbles that burst slowly. Cool.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Size-Wise

Sweets can add enjoyment to a balanced diet, but choose an appropriate portion.

How to Flute Edge of Crust

Flute edge by using 2 fingers to press a V-shape into the crust edge. This will look like a wave or ruffle design when finished. Or, pinch and slightly twist the pastry as you move around the pie to create a rope design.

Special Extra

Add 1/8 tsp. ground cinnamon to fruit mixture before spooning into crust.

I've made this recipe a few times and every time it is a hit! I'm not particularly a pie fan, but even I liked it. Probably going to make it again for Father's Day this weekend.

Wow, this was so easy to make, I loved it, my family loved it, will definitely make it again. I had no tapioca, so I used cornstarch instead.

Wow! So easy and absolutely delicious. I didn't think it was going to taste good, but honestly, it's one of the best pies I have ever had. Very easy to make...and I hate to bake!

This was wonderful and easy. I forgot to put the butter in and will continue to leave it out since it was sooo good. Everyone liked it. Tangy, but sweet, too. (Now I won't have to wonder what to do with all those plums on our tree each year)
