Directions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or a deep pie dish.

Roll out one crust and fit it into the bottom of your dish, pressing into the corners. (For a crisper base, pre-bake for 8 minutes before filling.) Reserve the second crust for topping.

Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, swirling occasionally. Continue cooking until golden brown and nutty, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat immediately so it doesn’t burn.

In a large bowl, toss peaches with granulated and brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch. Pour the browned butter over the mixture and stir well to coat the fruit evenly.

Pour half of the peach filling over the bottom crust. If using, scatter a few extra pre-baked crust pieces for extra crunch in the middle. Layer the remaining peaches. Top with the reserved pie crust, trimming and sealing the edges. Cut a few slits in the top to vent steam.

Bake uncovered for 35-45 minutes, until the crust is deeply golden and the filling is bubbling through. If the edges brown too quickly, tent loosely with foil halfway through baking.

Allow to cool for at least 20 minutes before serving—the filling will thicken as it sets. Enjoy warm, ideally topped with vanilla ice cream or sweetened whipped cream.
