Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Seedless grapes (red or purple)
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 package Prepared double pie crust
- 1 tablespoon Milk
- 1 tablespoon Coarse sugar (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash and dry the seedless grapes. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Gently mash the grapes slightly with a fork or potato masher to help release some of their juices.
In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Add the dry mixture to the grapes, along with the lemon juice. Stir until evenly combined and the grapes are well coated.
Roll out one half of the prepared pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming any excess overhang.
Pour the grape filling into the prepared crust. Dot the top of the filling with small pieces of the unsalted butter.
Roll out the second half of the pie crust and carefully place it over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal.
Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape, or create a decorative pattern if desired.
Brush the top crust evenly with milk and sprinkle with coarse sugar for a golden, slightly crunchy finish (optional).
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any potential drips, and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature on a wire rack for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set.
Slice and serve. Enjoy your homemade grape pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired!
