Ingredients
- 2 refrigerated crusts pie crusts
- 2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
- 3 cups sliced fresh peaches
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon cubed unsalted butter
- 1 beaten egg
Instructions
- Slice the strawberries and peaches into uneven natural pieces and meanwhile add them into a large bowl with sugar and cornstarch and lemon juice and cinnamon and vanilla. The fruit becomes glossy and lightly coated while the strawberries release pink juices and the peaches begin looking shiny and slightly softened.
- Press one pie crust into the pie dish and meanwhile spoon the juicy fruit mixture into the center with natural uneven mounds and scattered fruit pieces. Scatter small butter cubes across the top so the filling looks rustic and slightly overflowing near the crust edges.
- Lay strips of pie crust across the fruit filling in a loose lattice pattern and meanwhile fold and crimp the edges with uneven rustic texture. Brush the crust with beaten egg so the dough looks glossy and pale yellow before baking.
- Bake the pie until the crust becomes deeply golden with slightly darker edges and meanwhile the strawberry peach filling bubbles through the lattice openings. The fruit softens completely and the juices thicken into a glossy syrup with natural uneven bubbling across the surface.
- Cut one large slice from the pie and meanwhile transfer it onto a white dessert plate with thick glossy fruit filling spilling slightly onto the plate. The crust flakes naturally around the edges while soft peaches and strawberries create visible layers with deep red and golden colors.
Notes
Pro Tips:
- Let the fruit rest after mixing so the sugar creates natural juices that bake into a glossy flavorful filling texture.
- Bake the pie on the lower oven rack so the bottom crust becomes crisp and golden instead of soft.
- Use ripe peaches that still feel slightly firm so the slices keep their shape while baking in the filling.
- Cool the pie for at least thirty minutes so the thickened fruit filling slices more cleanly and neatly.
Storage: Store Strawberry Peach Pie covered loosely at room temperature for up to two days and meanwhile the crust stays flaky and tender. Refrigerate leftover pie after two days and meanwhile keep slices covered so the fruit filling stays moist and glossy. Warm chilled slices in the oven for a few minutes before serving and meanwhile the crust becomes crisp again. Freeze tightly wrapped pie slices for up to two months and meanwhile thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
