Sift 155 g all-purpose flour into a bowl.

Add 1 tbsp sugar and 1/4 tsp salt, then whisk together.

Add 85 g cold vegan butter or coconut oil and mix by hand until crumbly.

Add 3-4 tbsp ice-cold water and continue mixing until the dough holds together.

Wrap the dough in parchment paper and chill for 30 minutes.

For the filling, pit and slice 1 kg ripe plums in half.

In a bowl, combine the plums with 100 g brown sugar, 2 tbsp cornstarch or potato starch, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, a pinch of salt, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tsp vanilla extract.

Toss the plums gently until evenly coated and let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out their juices.

Roll out the chilled dough and line a 9-inch pie dish with it.

Prick the pie crust with a fork.

Place the plum filling with juices into the dish and sprinkle with brown sugar.

Bake in a preheated oven at 190 °C for 55 minutes until golden brown and bubbling.

Transfer the pie to a serving dish and let it cool for at least 1 hour before serving.
