Pie in the Oven

Well, I learned something today. As I am baking my first fruit pie, I made many mistakes, first off, I stupidly poured the filling into the crust (I was using crust without a pie pan, where you fold the crust over the edges of the filling) before I had thrown the crust onto the final making sheet. Oops! Huge mess, after spilling filling everywhere and tearing my fresh crust apart, I deciding to just throw it all into a 9" cake pan and cut my losses.

Well, turns out no matter how badly you destroy what could be a beautiful pie, fresh fruit covered in sugar and surrounded by pastry ALWAYS looks delicious. The pie isn't done yet, but I think it will still be delightful!

I am using the recipe for a plum pie from of course, Allrecipes.com, here. I was at the grocery store and saw yellow plums on sale from local farmers, and thought they were just too pretty to pass up, and it gave me an excuse to find a new recipe.
