Elementary plum pie: it always turns out fluffy

Plums are a great ingredient for making pies because they are juicy, moderately sweet, and have a pleasant sourness. In addition, it is very convenient to remove the pits from this fruit. Therefore, the pastries are not only very tasty but also cook quickly enough.
