Concord Grape Pie Recipe

How to Make Concord Grape Pie

1. Gently squeeze the end of each grape opposite the stem to separate the skins from the pulp. Try not to break the skins.
2. Set the grape skins aside.
3. Place the grape pulp in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
4. Bring the pulp to a boil, stirring occasionally.
5. Boil and stir for 1 minute to slightly soften the pulp.
6. Press the pulp through a fine-mesh strainer or food mill to remove the seeds.
7. In a large bowl, combine the cooked grape pulp, grape skins, granulated sugar, flour, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well to combine.
8. Pour the filling into your prepared 9-inch pie crust.
9. In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, brown sugar, and flour.
10. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
11. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the grape filling.
12. Cover the edges of the pastry with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
13. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes.
14. Carefully remove the foil from the edges of the pie.
15. Continue baking for another 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the crust is browning too quickly, loosely tent with foil.
16. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
