Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks / 226 g) unsalted butter, browned and cooled slightly
  • 3 cups (375 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional)
  • 5–7 tablespoons ice water
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 3 cups ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (like turbinado)

Instructions

  1. Brown the Butter: Place the butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Stir constantly as the butter melts, foams, and then turns a light golden brown with a nutty aroma (about 4-6 minutes). Remove from heat, strain into a bowl, and let cool to just warm.
  2. Make the Pie Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and sugar. Pour in warm brown butter and mix until crumbly. Add ice water one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until dough just comes together. Avoid overworking.
  3. Chill the Dough: Divide dough into two discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
  4. Prepare the Filling: Combine sliced peaches and strawberries with sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Toss gently and let sit while rolling dough.
  5. Roll Out Bottom Crust: On a floured surface or parchment, roll one dough disc into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to pie dish and trim excess dough.
  6. Fill the Pie: Pour fruit mixture into crust and dot with small pieces of butter.
  7. Top Crust: Roll out second dough disc into a 12-inch circle. Place whole, lattice, or decorative shapes on top. Trim and crimp edges to seal.
  8. Egg Wash and Sugar: Brush top crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  9. Bake: Place pie on baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 35-40 minutes until crust is golden and filling bubbles.
  10. Cool and Serve: Let pie cool on wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing.

Notes

Tent pie edges with foil after 20 minutes if crust browns too fast. Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid watery filling. Roll dough between parchment sheets for easier handling. Brown butter carefully to avoid bitterness. Egg wash gives a golden crust and helps sugar stick.
