Instructions
Mix all the ingredients together (baking soda and vinegar should be mixed together in a separate bowl and only then added to the rest of the ingredients) either by hands or w/ an electric mixer over low speed.
When the dough starts to pull together, take it out of the bowl of an electric mixer and form a ball.
Cover with food wrap and place in a refrigerator for 1 hour.
Meanwhile prepare the meringue by whipping the egg whites with an electric mixer and slowly adding the sugar when the egg whites have started to become white and foamy.
Turn your oven to 350F and place the rack in the middle.
Take the dough out of the refrigerator and spread it out on а jelly roll (12x17) pan with your hands/fingers to a layer of 8-10 mm.
Spread the plum butter on top to an even layer.
Sprinkle the pecans or walnuts on top of the plum butter layer.
Spread out the meringue on top of the nut layer.
Bake in your oven at 350F for the first 15 minutes, then lower the temperature to 200F - 220F, put a wooden spoon in a slot of your oven door and dry the meringue for another 30 minutes or until the meringue feels dry to the touch.
Take the pie out of the oven and let it completely cool before cutting it.
