Cherry Plum Oatmeal Pie

Crumbly dough and cherry plum are a beautiful and tasty combination. I have long wanted to bake a pie with such a beautiful top of quartered plums. But I didn’t get around to plums, because the other day I saw a cheap, almost free, red cherry plum. This is the second year we won’t have a cherry plum harvest, so we have to buy it.
