Ingredients
  

  • 1 batch All-Purpose Flaky Pie Crust chilled as 2 disks
  • 6 cups stemmed Concord grapes
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter cut into small pieces
  • 1 large egg beaten with 1 tbsp water

Method
 

  1. Squeeze grape pulp into a saucepan, reserving all purple skins in a bowl.
  2. Cook the pulp for 8 minutes until it releases its seeds, press it through a coarse sieve, and discard the seeds.
  3. Combine the strained pulp with the reserved skins, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice and salt and cool for 15 minutes while heating the oven to 400°F.
  4. Fit one rolled dough disk into a 9-inch plate, add the grape filling, dot with butter, and cover with the second rolled crust.
  5. Trim and crimp, cut vents, brush with egg wash, and bake for 20 minutes before lowering the oven to 375°F.
  6. Bake 30 to 35 minutes more until the center bubbles, then cool for 4 hours before slicing.
