  • Total Time: 250 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cold unsalted butter

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

  • 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

  • 23 tbsp Turbinado sugar (optional)

Instructions

  • Line a shallow bowl with parchment paper and set aside.

  • In a stainless steel pan over medium heat, cook butter for 10-12 minutes until medium brown solids form and butter smells nutty. Scrape into lined bowl and freeze for 1 hour until firm.

  • Remove parchment, cut butter into cubes, and keep frozen until ready to use.

  • In a stand mixer bowl, combine flour and sea salt. Add browned butter cubes and mix on low until mixture resembles coarse sand (about 3 minutes).

  • Prepare ice water by mixing water, apple cider vinegar, and ice cubes. Drizzle ice water into flour mixture slowly while mixing on low until dough clumps but is not sticky.

  • Divide dough into two 335-gram discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 1 hour.

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Roll out one dough disc on a floured surface to 12 inches diameter and ⅛ inch thick. Transfer gently to a 9-inch pie pan and chill.

  • Roll out second disc the same way and cut into 1-inch strips. Chill strips on parchment-lined tray.

  • In a large bowl, mix peaches, strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, cornstarch, and salt. Pour filling into crust, discarding excess liquid.

  • Arrange vertical strips over filling. Weave lattice by folding every other strip, adding horizontal strips, then unfolding. Trim excess dough, tuck edges, and crimp.

  • Brush lattice with whisked egg and sprinkle with Turbinado sugar.

  • Place pie on rimmed baking sheet. Bake at 425°F for 25 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°F (180°C) without opening oven, bake 40-50 minutes more. Cover crust with foil if browning too fast.

  • Cool on wire rack for at least 4 hours before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh fruit for best results.

  • Discard excess fruit juice to avoid soggy crust.

  • Chilling dough and lattice strips helps maintain shape.

  • Use Turbinado sugar for a crunchy crust top; substitute with granulated sugar if unavailable.
