Ingredients

Scale

For the Brown Butter Pie Crust:

  • 1 cup cold unsalted butter

  • 2 ⅔ cups + 1 tbsp all-purpose flour (see notes below for measuring)

  • ¾ tsp fine sea salt

  • ½ cup water

  • 1 tbsp apple cider or white vinegar

  • 1 whole egg, whisked

For the Strawberry and Peach Filling:

  • 3 cups fresh sliced peaches

  • 3 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

  • ¼ cup + 1 tbsp cornstarch

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

  • 1 tsp lemon zest

  • ¼ tsp fine sea salt

  • 23 tbsp Turbinado sugar (optional, for sprinkling on top)


Instructions

  • Make the Brown Butter Pie Crust:

    • Start by browning the butter: In a saucepan, melt the cold butter over medium heat. Continue cooking it, stirring frequently, until it turns a golden brown color and gives off a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let cool.

    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the cooled brown butter and stir until the mixture becomes crumbly.

    • In a small bowl, combine the water, vinegar, and whisked egg. Gradually add this mixture to the flour mixture, stirring just until the dough begins to come together.

    • Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

  • Prepare the Filling:

    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, quartered strawberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt. Stir gently to combine and coat the fruit in the mixture.

    • Let the filling sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow the juices to release and the sugar to dissolve.

  • Assemble the Pie:

    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    • Roll out the chilled pie crust on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Gently transfer the rolled dough into the dish.

    • Pour the prepared fruit filling into the crust, making sure it is evenly distributed.

    • If you have extra dough, you can create a lattice top or simply cover the pie with a full crust, cutting slits for steam to escape.

    • If desired, sprinkle the top with Turbinado sugar for added texture and sweetness.

  • Bake the Pie:

    • Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

    • If the edges of the crust begin to brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil or a pie shield.

 

  • Cool and Serve:

    • Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours before serving to ensure the filling sets.

    • Serve as-is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes

  • Be sure to measure the flour accurately for the pie crust. It’s best to spoon the flour into the measuring cup and level it off for precision.

  • If you prefer a more crisp crust, blind-bake the bottom crust before adding the filling.
