Making the Pie
- Whisk together all-purpose flour, kosher salt, and sugar in a mixing bowl. Cut in the cold unsalted butter until the mixture resembles pea-sized crumbs. Add ice-cold water and cider vinegar gradually, mixing until a dough ball forms.
- Divide the dough in half, shape into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- In a large bowl, combine sliced fresh plums, halved figs, the sugars, potato starch, lemon juice, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and Angostura bitters. Stir until all ingredients are evenly coated.
- Roll out one disc of dough into an 11-inch round and line your pie plate, then refrigerate it for a few minutes. Roll out the second disc, cut it into strips for a lovely lattice topping. Fill the pie crust with the fruit mixture, arrange the lattice over the top, crimp the edges, and chill once more.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. Brush the crust with the egg wash and sprinkle with demerara sugar. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden, then reduce the temperature to 375°F and continue baking until the juices are bubbling, about 30-35 minutes.
- Remove the pie from the oven and cool on a wire rack for 2-3 hours to allow the filling to set.

Notes
Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgence. Adjust sweetness based on your preference for the fruit filling.
