Concord Grape Pie is a sweet-tart pie made from fresh or frozen Concord grapes, featuring a deep purple filling encased in a flaky, buttery crust, perfect for autumn or any fruit dessert craving.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups Concord grapes, washed and stemmed
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch or tapioca starch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 2 pie crusts (homemade or store-bought)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Crush the grapes using a potato masher or food processor. Strain through a sieve to separate juice from skins and seeds, reserving both.
  3. In a saucepan, combine grape juice, sugar, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened and glossy.
  4. Stir in reserved grape skins and remove from heat. Add lemon juice and mix well.
  5. Roll out one pie crust and line a 9-inch pie pan. Pour in the grape filling and dot with butter pieces.
  6. Cover with the second crust or a lattice top. Seal edges and cut slits if using a full top crust.
  7. Bake for 45–50 minutes until crust is golden and filling is bubbling.
  8. Cool completely before slicing to allow filling to set.

Notes

Use a lattice crust for a classic look.Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for warmth.Mix in other berries like blackberries or blueberries for a mixed fruit pie.Blind bake the bottom crust for 10 minutes to prevent sogginess.Store at room temperature up to 2 days or in refrigerator up to 5 days.Freeze tightly wrapped for up to 2 months; thaw in refrigerator before serving.
