It’s a favorite all year, and now the Pesach adaptation of our Plum Pie is a winner. Plus! Mix it right in the pan.
Like always, the best Pesach recipes are the adaptations that we make from our favorites all year round. So last year, when my cousin Lany told me that her sister Leah Gottlieb made our plum pie for Pesach and it was a great success, I asked her to share what she did!
She sent the recipe right away and I waited all year to try it! When testing this out, we made three different variations:
- Just as the recipe instructed, with half a cup of potato starch.
- We replaced the potato starch with a full cup of almond flour.
- We replaced only half the potato starch with almond flour and reduced the oil to ⅓ cup.
The original recipe was great. The second version with all almond flour was way too rich and oily tasting. We ate it up but don’t recommend making it that way. The third version was our favorite.
This photo is variation 1. the potato starch version.

Mix in the potato starch and almond flour
