I enjoy an easy to bake recipe and this Ruby Grape Pie makes my amateur baking skills look leveled up!
I use a premade pie crust, with a homemade grape and syrup filling that takes just 15 minutes. The rest gets done in the oven. First bake covered and then uncover for a gorgeous, golden top. Perfect for a summer’s evening with dollops of fresh cream or vanilla ice cream.
To make Ruby Grape Pie, you will need the following ingredients:
In a large saucepan, toss grapes, sugar, lemon zest and cinnamon to combine and coat. Let stand for 15 minutes.
In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch and lemon juice together and add to the grape mixture. Stir to combine.
Bring to a boil and cook at boiling, while stirring, for 2 minutes until thickened.
Preheat oven to 425 °F.
Line the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate with the pie/pastry crust. Pour the thickened grape mixture over the base and dot the top with butter. Cover the filling with the remaining pie crust and trim, seal and flute the edges. Cut pie slits on top. Cover, loosely with aluminum foil.
Bake with foil in the preheated oven for 20 minutes then remove the foil and reduce the heat to 350 °F. Continue baking for about 30-35 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
Cool on a wire rack for a few minutes.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
