In a large bowl, whisk together sugar and olive oil until fluffy.

Whisk yogurt, eggs, rosemary and vanilla into the sugar mixture until well combined.

Stir in grapes and cook until softened. Gently press grapes down. Stir in vinegar and cornstarch.

Remove skillet from heat. Pour batter over grapes, using a rubber scraper to spread the batter evenly.
