Ingredients

• 6 cups Concord grapes
• 1.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 whole Double pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 whole Egg
• 1 tablespoons Water
• 1 tablespoons Additional granulated sugar (for sprinkling)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the Concord grapes thoroughly and separate the skins from the pulp by pinching each grape. Place the skins in one bowl and the pulp in a separate saucepan.

Step 2

Cook the grape pulp over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the pulp softens and releases its juice.

Step 3

Pass the cooked pulp through a fine-mesh sieve or food mill to remove the seeds, discarding them. Combine the seedless grape pulp with the grape skins in a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

Stir in the granulated sugar, flour, cornstarch, salt, unsalted butter, and lemon juice until well combined. Set the filling aside.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out one half of the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim any excess dough around the edges.

Step 6

Pour the prepared grape filling into the pie crust and spread it out evenly.

Step 7

Roll out the second half of the pie crust and place it over the filling. You can either lay it flat or cut it into strips to create a lattice top. Trim and crimp the edges to seal.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the top crust with the egg wash and sprinkle with the additional granulated sugar.

Step 9

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any overflow and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 10

Allow the grape pie to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
