Description
A comforting summer pie featuring a flaky crust filled with sweet strawberries and ripe peaches, enhanced by the rich flavor of brown butter.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cold unsalted butter
- 2 ⅔ cups + 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tbsp apple cider or white vinegar
- 1 whole egg (whisked)
- 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
- 2–3 tbsp Turbinado sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Make the Pie Dough: In a saucepan, melt the cold unsalted butter until it turns golden brown; be careful not to burn it. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually stir in the browned butter. Mix in the water and vinegar until it forms a dough. Chill it for about 30 minutes.
- Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, toss the sliced peaches and strawberries with the granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt until well combined.
- Assemble the Pie: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out half of the dough and fit it into a pie dish. Fill it with the fruit mixture. Roll out the other half of the dough to create a lattice or solid top, sealing the edges well. Brush the top with the whisked egg and sprinkle with Turbinado sugar if desired.
- Bake: Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling. Allow the pie to cool before serving, letting the juices settle.
Notes
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or fresh mint leaves.
