Notes

Molly says: My mom and her sister have competed through the years as to who makes the best grape juice pie. My aunt actually bakes a fresh grape filling, but it's my mom's version (which I think she got from the back of a grape juice bottle) that wins with my kids every time. Maybe it's the creamy ice cream filling or that nostalgic flavor combo of peanuts and jelly. I hope you enjoy!
