Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare the Butter: Cook cold unsalted butter in a stainless steel pan over medium heat for 10-12 minutes until it reaches a medium brown color. Chill in the freezer until firm, about 1 hour.
  2. Cube the Butter: Cut the chilled browned butter into cubes and keep them in the freezer.
  3. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a stand mixer, combine the flour and salt. Add the cubed butter and mix on low speed until resembling pea-sized pieces.
  4. Make the Dough: Combine water and vinegar with ice, then gradually add to the flour mixture until clumping. Divide into two rounds, wrap in plastic, flatten into discs, and chill for at least 1 hour.
  5. Preheat the Oven: Set oven to preheat at 425°F.
  6. Roll Out the First Disc: Roll one disc to ⅛ inch thick, place in 9-inch pie pan, and chill.
  7. Prepare the Lattice: Roll the second disc, slice into strips, and chill on a parchment-lined tray.
  8. Mix the Filling: Combine peaches, strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, zest, cornstarch, and salt in a bowl. Pour into the prepared pie crust.
  9. Assemble the Lattice: Arrange lattice over the filling, tuck edges, crimp to seal, and brush with whisked egg. Sprinkle turbinado sugar if desired.
  10. Bake the Pie: Place on a baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes, then lower temperature to 350°F and bake for another 40-50 minutes, covering with foil if necessary.
  11. Cool Before Serving: Allow pie to cool for at least 4 hours before serving.
