Concord grape pie

Grape pie made with Concord grapes is a regional specialty of Western New York, including the Finger Lakes region, Pennsylvania and other areas of the United States where the grape is grown. Vineyards that grow the grape, which was developed in the U.S., stretch from Western New York across Pennsylvania and into Ohio forming a "narrow 100-mile-long strip" that includes Westfield, New York, "Concord grape juice capital of the world" on the southern Lake Erie shore.[1] Grape pie is a specialty and tradition of Naples, New York,[2][3] host of the Naples Grape Festival and home to Angela Cannon-Crothersm, author of Grape Pie Season.[4]

The traditional recipe using Concord grapes,[5] is said to taste like wine due to the inclusion of tannins. [6] Variants on the dessert use other grape types and various other ingredients.

The grape pie is part of the traditional cuisine of German immigrants to the region, including those preserved at Old Economy, founded in 1824.[6] The pie-making is a "very long process" and includes "skinning the grape, cooking the pulp and separating out the seeds."[6]
