Cinnamon sugar1/4 cup Simply Fruit Apricot (or your choice, fig jam is a great compliment)
*To make vanilla sugar, I recycle a used vanilla bean pod into a jar of sealed sugar.
-------------------------------
For the plums:
Using a paring knife, slice each plum down the seam, leaving the two halves connected.
Remove the pit.
Cut each half, almost through so that the plum "fans" out into fourths.
Set aside
--------------------------------
Make dough;
Using a food processor, pulse all ingredients until just combined. Do not overprocess!
In a parchment paper lined baking dish, press dough into pan with moist hands.
Spread fruit preserves evenly.
Lay a plum, fanned, cut side up.
Brush 1/2 stick of melted butter onto the plums.
Sprinkle 2 Tbsp. cinnamon sugar
Bake at 350F for about 30 minutes, or until golden brown. If desired, sprinkle additional cinnamon sugar on top.
Serve with fresh whipped cream, and don't feel guilty about it! It's a wonderful treat and a Bavarian tradition.
You could try this recipe with fresh apricots or even apples.

Zwetschgendatschi. This is what it would be spelled like. My grandmother makes this with yeast-dough, which makes it fluffier and you'd need less butter. We also sprinkle Streusel on top, a shortbred like crumble mixture of butter, sugar, cinnamon and flour. I really like it with apples,too. Yummy - 8/13/12
