Ingredients
For the Crust:
  • ¾ cup butter or margarine, softened
  • ⅓ cup icing sugar
  • 1⅔ cups flour
For the Filling:
  • 4 cups seedless Concord grapes (washed and stems removed)
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
For the Crust:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a deep 9-inch pie pan.
  2. Blend together all pastry ingredients and press the mixture into the pie pan. Prick the crust all over with a fork. This helps steam escape and prevents the crust from rising and becoming too fluffy.
  3. Bake for 15-20 minutes (this helps get the crust precooked, preventing it from becoming soggy later). Set aside. Set oven to 375 F.
For the Filling:
  1. While the crust is baking, gently toss together the whole seedless Concord grapes, sugar, flour, lemon juice, and salt.
  2. Pour the fruit mixture into the crust; try to spread it around equally.
  3. Bake for 50 minutes. You might need to cover the pie with aluminum foil to prevent the crust from becoming too brown.
  4. Cool, then serve!
Notes
You can make this pie vegan by using vegan margarine instead of butter.
