Concord grape pie

Concord grape pie is a highly valued traditional dessert in regions where this grape variety is common, particularly in the United States and parts of Latin America. Concord grapes, known for their intense sweet flavor and characteristic aroma, were developed in the 19th century and have become a popular ingredient for jams, juices, and desserts. In Latin American countries, although the name "concord" is not always used, dark grapes are often used in similar recipes that take advantage of their properties to create homemade sweets. This type of pie is also known simply as grape pie or black grape pie in different regions, adapting to local ingredients but maintaining the essence of the combination of pulp and skin in the filling.

The recipe stands out for its contrast of textures and flavors, between the juiciness of the grape and the crunchy topping made with oats and brown sugar. Furthermore, the preparation is a classic at family gatherings and holidays thanks to its homely and appetizing flavor.

How to Make Concord Grape Pie

Squeeze the end of each grape opposite the stem to separate the skins from the pulp.

Set the skins aside.

Place the pulp in a medium saucepan.

Bring to a boil.

Boil and stir for 1 minute.

Pass through a sieve or food mill to remove the seeds.

Mix the pulp, skins, sugar, flour, lemon juice, and salt.

Pour into the pie crust.

Mix oats, brown sugar, and flour.

Add butter until a crumbly texture is achieved.

Sprinkle over the filling.

Cover the edges of the crust with aluminum foil.

Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes.

Remove the aluminum foil.

Bake for 20 more minutes or until golden brown.

Let cool on a wire rack.
