Concord Grape Pie Recipe: The Essence of Fall

I love fall! The smell of the crisp leaves, fresh apples and cider doughnuts, bushy mums and fresh, juicy grapes. They all reminds me of the changing of the seasons. I went out to our grape arbor yesterday and found lots and lots of ripe Concord Grapes, begging to be picked and cooked into something wonderful. This pie captures the essence of fall and is a real treat for anyone who enjoys it!
