Prepare the Filling
  1. Slice the peaches and hulled strawberries, then combine them in a large bowl with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt.

Roll Out the Dough
  1. Flour your surface generously and roll out the dough into a circle about 12 inches wide.
  2. Transfer the rolled dough into a pie dish, being careful not to tear it.
Brown the Butter

  2. Let it cool slightly before serving, ideally with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Use a pastry cutter for mixing the butter for better texture. Avoid doubling the recipe the first time to prevent mess.
