Ingredients
- 4 cups ripe grapes, seedless
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 pie crusts, store-bought or homemade
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and place a baking sheet in the oven to preheat as well.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grapes, sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, lemon zest, and salt. Gently toss until the grapes are evenly coated.
- Roll out one pie crust and carefully transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish. Press the crust into the bottom and up the sides of the dish.
- Pour the grape filling into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
- Roll out the second pie crust and cut it into strips to create a lattice design. Alternatively, you can place the whole pie crust on top and cut a few slits to vent.
- Brush the lattice or top crust with the beaten egg to create a golden color.
- Place the pie dish onto the preheated baking sheet in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving. This will allow the filling to set.
- Slice and serve the ripe grape pie on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
