Preparation

Step 1

On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. deep-dish pie plate. Trim pastry to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge. Refrigerate 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375°. Toss plums with liqueur if desired. Mix sugar, flour and salt; add to plums and toss to coat. Transfer to pastry shell.

For topping, combine brown sugar, flour and hazelnuts; cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over plum mixture.

Bake until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly, about 45-55 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
