Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400 F.
-
Combine grapes, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla, and salt in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, mashing some grapes and stirring occasionally to reduce moisture, then cool completely.
-
In a large bowl, blend flour, shortening, butter, and salt until pea-sized crumbs form. Gradually add water, mixing until the dough just comes together.
-
Divide the dough into two balls.
-
Roll out one dough ball into a 12-inch circle and place it in a pie tin.
-
Roll out the second dough ball into a 12-inch circle, cutting a design into the top.
-
Pour the cooled filling into the pie crust, then top with the second crust. Crimp the edges and dust with granulated sugar.
-
Bake on the lowest oven rack for 45 minutes. If the crust darkens excessively after 30 minutes, reduce the temperature to 350 F.
-
Allow the pie to cool to room temperature before serving.
