Instead of the ubiquitous apple and pumpkin varieties, give this delicious Concord grape pie a whirl this year. This effortless recipe comes from James Beard himself: “In earlier times slip-skin grapes were commonly baked in pies like any other fruit,” he wrote in American Cookery. “Many people like to serve this pie with cheese—aged cheddar or a less flavorful cheese, such as cream cheese, Monterey jack, or one of the milder imported cheeses.” Defying tradition can be hard, but we feel strongly this one's worth it. Get the recipe.
