4 cups sliced fresh plums (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 unbaked deep-dish pastry shell (9 inches)

In bowl, combine the first six ingredients; pour into the pastry shell. For topping, combine sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg in a small bowl; cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle over filling.

Bake at 375°F for 50 to 60 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown. Cover edges of crust during the last 20 minutes to prevent over browning. Cool on a wire rack.

Yield: 8 servings.
