Recipes from The CUP

Grape Pie (Trauben Kuchen)

My cousin Ilene sent me an Old-Time Brand-Name cook book with the most fabulous German recipe for a grape pie. It was a recipe from the New York Herald Tribune in 1940. I know it sounds odd, but I made it this morning and it went so well with my coffee I had to share it with you. I recommend you make this one and it was so easy.

  • 1 unbaked 9 inch pie crust
  • ¼ cup sugar plus an additional ½ cup
  • 3 cups seedless grapes (used red)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • 3 eggs
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon

Preheat oven to 425 degrees

Line a 9 inch pie pan with the unbaked crust. Place the pie pan on a cookie sheet to catch any dripping while baking. Sprinkle ¼ cup sugar over the crust. Place the grapes over the sugar.

Combine the remaining ½ cup sugar with the cornstarch in a mixing bowl. Gradually add the half-and-half and mix until smooth. Add the eggs and mix thoroughly. Pour this mixture over the grapes and sprinkle the top with the cinnamon.

Bake for 15 minutes, lower the heat to 350 degrees and bake for 30 minutes longer or until the filling is firm (insert a knife into the middle and when it comes out clean, its ready)

Serve cold.
