Delicious Concord Grape Pie

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds Concord grapes
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (or homemade if you prefer)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

Instructions:

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Prepare the Concord grapes by rinsing them under cool water. Remove the stems and mash the grapes slightly to release their juices.
  3. In a large pot, combine the mashed grapes, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken and bubble, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Once thickened, remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the butter. Let it cool for a few minutes.
  5. Roll out one pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie pan. Pour the grape filling into the crust.
  6. Cover with the second pie crust and crimp the edges to seal. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  7. Brush the top crust with a beaten egg for a beautiful golden finish.
  8. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  9. Once baked, let the pie cool for at least 2 hours before slicing. This allows the filling to set properly.

Serve slices of this delicious Concord grape pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat! Your loved ones will undoubtedly be asking for seconds.
