Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, browned and cooled slightly
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 4–6 tbsp ice water
  • 5–6 medium fresh ripe peaches (about 2 lbs / 900g), peeled and sliced
  • ¼ cup (50g) brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg yolk, beaten with 1 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp turbinado or raw sugar
  • About 1 pint (475 ml) vanilla bean ice cream

Instructions

  1. Brown the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly until golden brown and nutty smelling (about 3-4 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Pour in the warm brown butter and mix gently until dough begins to clump.
  3. Add ice water 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until dough holds together but is firm and pliable. Shape into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Peel and slice peaches. Toss with brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Set aside to macerate.
  5. Roll out chilled dough on a floured surface into a rough 12-inch circle. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Pile peach filling onto the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold edges up around the fruit, pleating as needed.
  7. Brush crust edges with beaten egg yolk mixture and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
  8. Bake in a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven for 40-45 minutes until crust is golden and filling is bubbling. Tent edges with foil if browning too quickly.
  9. Cool on a rack for 10 minutes. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.

Notes

Brown butter can burn quickly; stir constantly and remove from heat as soon as it turns golden brown and smells nutty. Chill dough well before rolling to prevent stickiness. Tent crust edges with foil if browning too fast. Use fresh ripe but firm peaches for best texture. Variations include swapping peaches for apples, pears, or berries, and gluten-free or dairy-free adaptations.
