Preheat oven to 420. Lay parchment paper on the cookie sheet and unfold the pie sheet on top of it. Spread fig jam on the pie sheet leaving about a 2 inch border from the edges. Place plums on top of the jam. Fold edges over towards the center, making a free-form pie. Brush the top with egg wash and sprinkle sugar. Bake for 30-35 minutes.
