Description
A golden, flaky crust cradling juicy peaches and strawberries, all elevated by the rich, nutty depth of browned butter—this pie tastes like the height of summer wrapped in comfort. It’s vibrant, buttery, and just the right balance of sweet and tart. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and watch it disappear slice by slice.
Ingredients
For the Filling:
3 peaches, peeled and sliced
1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 tbsp brown sugar
¼ cup cornstarch
2 tbsp lemon juice
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp salt
½ cup unsalted butter, browned and cooled slightly
For the Crust:
1 homemade or store-bought double pie crust
1 egg + 1 tbsp water (egg wash)
Coarse sugar, for sprinkling
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir constantly until golden brown and nutty-smelling. Set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, toss peaches and strawberries with sugars, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in browned butter.
Roll out the bottom crust and place it into a 9-inch pie dish. Fill with the fruit mixture.
Top with the second crust (lattice or full), crimp edges, and brush with egg wash. Sprinkle with coarse sugar.
Bake for 45–50 minutes or until the crust is golden and filling is bubbling. If needed, cover edges with foil halfway through to prevent over-browning.
Let cool for at least 2 hours before slicing.
