🧁 What You’ll Need:
Filling:
– 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
– 3 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
– ¾ cup granulated sugar (adjust based on sweetness of fruit)
– ¼ cup brown sugar
– ¼ cup cornstarch
– 1 tbsp lemon juice
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– ½ tsp cinnamon (optional for a warm touch)
– A pinch of salt
Crust:
– 1 double pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
– 1 egg (for egg wash)
– 1 tbsp coarse sugar (optional, for topping)
🥣 Instructions:
1. Prep the Fruit:
– In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches and halved strawberries.
– Add both sugars, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Gently mix until the fruit is evenly coated.
– Let it sit for 15 minutes while you prep the crust. This allows the juices to soak and thicken slightly.
2. Roll Out the Crust:
– Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
– Roll out one pie crust and line a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges to hang just slightly over the rim.
– Stir your filling once more, then pour it into the prepared crust.
3. Add the Top Crust:
– Roll out the second crust. You can lay it flat over the top or cut into strips to create a lattice pattern.
– If laying flat, cut 2–3 small slits in the center for steam to escape.
– Crimp or flute the edges to seal the top and bottom crust together.
4. Egg Wash + Sugar Sparkle:
– Beat the egg and brush it over the crust for a golden shine.
– Optional: Sprinkle coarse sugar over the top for a little crunch and sparkle.
5. Bake:
– Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips.
– Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
– If edges begin to brown too quickly, cover them loosely with foil.
6. Cool & Serve:
– Let the pie cool for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set.
– Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for the ultimate summer treat.
🥄 Tip: For an extra flavor boost, try adding 1 tsp of almond extract to the filling or a sprinkle of nutmeg with the cinnamon.
