Description
A rich and flavorful pie featuring the nutty notes of brown butter combined with sweet strawberries and peaches.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 recipe for double pie crust
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 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 granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter turns a golden brown and smells nutty. This is your brown butter. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cornstarch.
- Add the sliced peaches, strawberries, and lemon juice to the sugar mixture. Gently toss to coat the fruit evenly.
- Pour the brown butter over the fruit mixture and toss again to combine.
- Line a 9-inch pie plate with one pie crust. Pour the fruit filling into the crust.
- Top with the second pie crust. Crimp the edges to seal and cut vents in the top crust.
- Brush the top crust with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle with the tablespoon of sugar.
- Bake for 20 minutes at 400°F (200°C).
- Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for another 35-45 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 foil.
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2-3 hours before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For best results, use ripe but firm peaches.
- If you don’t have fresh strawberries, you can use frozen ones, but do not thaw them before adding to the pie.
- Ensure the pie cools completely to allow the filling to set properly.
