Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Prepare the pie crust by rolling it out on a floured surface until it's about 1/8 inch thick.

Transfer the crust to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Mix the walnut flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl until combined.

Add softened butter and eggs to the walnut mixture, mixing until smooth.

Stir in vanilla extract and lemon juice until fully incorporated.

Spread the walnut frangipane over the center of the pie crust, leaving a 2-inch border.

Arrange halved damson plums on top of the frangipane, cut side up.

Fold the edges of the crust over the filling, pleating as necessary to create a rustic look.

Brush the crust with milk for a golden finish.

Sprinkle cinnamon over the plums and crust.

Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the crust is golden and the plums are tender.

Allow to cool for a few minutes before dusting with powdered sugar.

Serve warm or at room temperature.
