Green grape pie is an old-fashioned pie recipe that you may not have heard of before.
However, once you try it, you'll be hooked! With a very similar flavor profile to apple pie, green grape pie has the added benefit of not getting soggy! Made with einkorn flour and maple syrup, this green grape pie recipe is a winner!
Grape pie is not something you see very often any more. But when my 5 year old randomly asked to make green grape pie, my dad piped up that green grape pie had been his grandfather's favorite - and his own favorite - pie growing up!
It's not something that I had ever tried, or even heard of, as his mother had stopped baking by the time I was born, however it seems to be in the blood since my son asked for it specifically!
So, after a lot of talking with my dad, I embarked on a journey to recreate this green grape pie recipe!
Since green grapes tend to be very tart, I decided to treat this like a granny smith apple pie in the flavor profiles. The results were amazing! Now this is officially a 4-generation spanning family favorite recipe!
Einkorn Green Grape Pie Recipe
Making the green grape pie is a very simple process that doesn't involve peeling or cutting the grapes. Instead, just wash them and crush them a bit in a bowl before transferring to the crust (save the juice!).
I still have no idea how he came up with the idea for a green grape pie (doesn't he look pleased?!), but it was definitely a winner! I think he has a future in recipe development! :-)
