Grape Pie
Pie crust:
2 cups flour
1/3 cup water
2/3 cup olive oil Grape filling:
5 cups grapes, seeded and peeled (peels reserved)
3/4 tablespoon lemon juice
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/4 cup flour
pinch salt
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Mix together crust ingredients until a dough is formed. Roll out 1/4-1/2" thick, and place in pie plate.
2. For filling, cook grape pulp over medium-low heat until it begins to boil. Combine pulp and peels, stir in lemon juice.
3. Mix flour, sugar and salt in separate bowl and stir into grape mixture.
4. Pour into prepared crust and bake 45-50 minutes.
I used fresh picked wild concord grapes. It was fairly time-intensive to skin/seed them (although worth it!). With store bought seedless grapes you may be able to get away with simply smashing them.
SO HOW'D IT GO?
I can't wait to make this. I am from Upstate New York and this is a fall favorite there. For those who have not had grape pie it is delicious and like eating rich red wine without the alcohol! As soon as we get organic grapes in our area I am making this!
hey, this looks neat. I've never heard of grape pie but why not?! It sounds delicious!
