Gather 300 g spelt whole‑grain flour on the work surface and make a well in the center. Add 80 g coconut blossom sugar, the egg, applesauce, and 160 g of butter cut into small pieces to the well; use a knife to mix thoroughly. Quickly knead the resulting crumbs together until a smooth dough forms; add more flour if needed. Wrap the dough and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Wash, halve, and pit the plums. Roll out the dough on a floured work surface to fit a cake pan plus a 3 cm margin. Line the pan with butter if desired. Prick the dough several times with a fork and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Arrange the plum halves in a brick‑layer pattern from outside to inside.
