Grape pie is a surprisingly sweet and tart pie that is easy to make when using seedless grapes. It's a delicious alternative to cherry or apple pie.

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 14

For the Filling:
8 cups concord grapes (seedless, if available; washed and shaken dry)
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Pie Crust:
2 1/2 cups flour
1/3 cup shortening (chilled)
1/3 cup butter (chilled)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup cold water

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Combine the grapes with the sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla, and salt in a saucepan.
  • Cook for 15-20 minutes on medium heat. Use a potato masher to squash some of the grapes as they cook. Stir occasionally as it bubbles to prevent it from burning. Turn down the heat if it begins to scorch. You want to cook off a good part of the moisture from the grapes so the filling will not be runny.
  • Allow the filling to cool to room temperature. While the grapes are cooking and cooling, prepare the crust.
  • Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 F.
  • Using a pastry blender, combine the flour, shortening, butter, and salt in a large bowl. Work the fat into the flour until you have pea-sized pieces of fat.
  • Add the water a few teaspoons at a time while mixing the dough just until the dough sticks together when pinched.
  • Combine the dough and form into 2 balls. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
  • On a well floured surface, roll one of the balls of dough into a 12-inch circle.
  • Lay the dough into the pie tin.
  • Roll out the other ball of dough into a 12-inch circle. Cut out a design on the top of the dough. You can use a straw to make a grape design, if desired.
  • Pour the cooled filling into the pie crust. Place the second crust on the top. Crimp the edges using a fork or tuck the dough under and crimp with your fingers. Dust the top of the pie with granulated sugar.
  • Place the pie on the lowest baking rack of the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes. Check the pie after the first 30 minutes. If the crust begins to darken too much, turn the heat down to 350 F.
  • Allow the pie to cool to room temperature before slicing and serving.

GRAPE CREAM PIE



Grape Cream Pie image

A tasty and different fruit pie. I made it with Splenda. The sugar measurements I list were those I used for granulated Splenda, and although the two are supposed to work on a one-for-one conversion, I find that this is not always the case. This recipe filled up a 9.5 pie crust. I recommend using smaller, tarter grapes, as this pie is rather sweet. You may want to play with the amount of sugar if you want a tarter pie. Also, I used the larger and softer grapes for the blended mixture and kept the small, firm ones whole.

Time 1h20m

Yield 1 pie

Number Of Ingredients 11

pastry for double crust 10 inch pie
1/4 cup cold water
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup tapioca
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 1/2 lbs green seedless grapes
1 cup sour cream
4 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg white (optional)

Steps:

  • Line a glass pie plate with the bottom crust.
  • Sepatate the grapes roughly in half. Place one half into a blender and run on the lowest setting until all grapes are chopped.
  • Mix water, 2/3 Celsius sugar lemon juice, tapioca pearls, cornstarch and whole and blended grapes into a saucepan. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer, stirring constantly (it will scortch).
  • Once mixture begins to take on a light carmelized color (approximately 5-10 minutes), remove from heat and allow to cool for about 5 minutes.
  • Mix sour cream with remaining 4 teaspoons of sugar and vanilla extract. Stir this into the grape mixture, ensuring that everything is well blended.
  • Pour mixture into pie crust. Place second pie crust on top, crimp edges, and slit top crust. Brust top crust with egg white if desired.
  • Place in oven that has been pre-heated to 350 degrees and bake 50-60 minutes (it's probably going to leak, so lay some foil or a baking sheet beneath it first).
  • Remove from oven, allow to cool, and then chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour.

Tips:

  • Use ripe grapes: The sweetness and flavor of the grapes will shine through in the pie, so it's important to use the best grapes you can find. Look for grapes that are plump, juicy, and have a deep color.
  • Cook the grapes until they are soft: This will help to release their juices and make the pie filling smooth and flavorful. You can cook the grapes in a saucepan on the stovetop or in the microwave.
  • Use a good quality cream cheese: The cream cheese is a key ingredient in the pie filling, so it's important to use a good quality brand. Look for cream cheese that is smooth and creamy, with no lumps.
  • Don't overmix the pie filling: Overmixing can make the pie filling tough. Stir the ingredients together until they are just combined.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set: This will usually take about 45 minutes. You can check the pie by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the pie is done.

Conclusion:

Grape cream pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy filling and flaky crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give grape cream pie a try.
