Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large bowl, combine the sliced plumcots, sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and lemon juice. Mix well to coat the fruit evenly.

Roll out one of the pie crusts and place it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.

Pour the plumcot mixture into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Dot the top of the fruit mixture with the small pieces of butter.

Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal the pie.

Make a few slits on the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips, and bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 1 hour before serving.
