A quick and easy homemade dessert featuring a flaky brown butter crust filled with sweet, juicy peaches, served warm with vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup (56g) unsalted butter, browned and cooled
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) ice water
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional)
  • 4 large ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (for sprinkling on crust)
  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Brown the butter in a small skillet over medium heat until golden brown and nutty, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and sugar (if using). Add the browned butter and mix with a fork until coarse crumbs form.
  3. Add ice water a tablespoon at a time, stirring gently until dough just comes together. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Peel and slice peaches. Toss with sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, cinnamon (if using), and lemon juice. Let macerate for 10 minutes.
  5. Roll out chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle about 1/8 inch thick. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Spoon peach filling into the center, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold edges over peaches, pleating as you go, leaving center open.
  7. Brush dough edges with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  8. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 35-40 minutes until crust is golden and filling bubbly. Tent with foil after 25 minutes if crust browns too fast.
  9. Cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Brown butter carefully to avoid burning; chill dough before rolling for flakier crust; drain excess juice from peaches if too watery to prevent soggy crust; can substitute almond flour for gluten-free crust; use dairy-free butter and coconut yogurt for vegan version but skip browning butter.
