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.
