Description
A rich and flavorful pie featuring the nutty notes of brown butter combined with sweet strawberries and peaches.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 recipe double pie crust
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 cups sliced fresh peaches (about 2 pounds)
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare your double pie crust according to your favorite recipe or package directions. Line a 9-inch pie plate with one crust.
- In a large bowl, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter turns golden brown and smells nutty. This is brown butter. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Add the sliced peaches and halved strawberries to the dry ingredients. Pour the slightly cooled brown butter and lemon juice over the fruit. Toss gently to coat the fruit evenly.
- Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared pie crust.
- Place the second pie crust over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal. Cut vents in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the top crust with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
- Bake for 20 minutes at 400°F (200°C).
- Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for another 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, loosely tent it with aluminum foil.
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack for at least 3-4 hours before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to set.
Notes
- For best results, use ripe but firm peaches.
- If you don’t have fresh strawberries, frozen ones can be used, but drain them well before adding to the filling.
- Ensure the brown butter has cooled slightly before adding to the fruit to prevent cooking the fruit prematurely.
