Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Cut cold unsalted butter into small cubes and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  2. In a food processor, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Pulse for about 10 seconds.
  3. Add chilled butter to the processor and pulse until coarse crumbs form, about 15-20 pulses.
  4. Gradually add ice water while pulsing until the dough holds together, about 6-8 tablespoons.
  5. Divide the dough in half, shape into discs, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 1 hour.
  6. Roll out one disc of dough on a floured surface until 1/8 inch thick and fit it in a pie tin.
  7. Chill the crust for about 30 minutes before adding the filling.
  8. Wash and slice strawberries and dice Granny Smith apples; toss with brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, lemon zest, and juice.
  9. Pour the fruit filling into the chilled pie crust and dot the top with small pieces of butter.
  10. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 45-50 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
  11. Cool the pie completely to set the filling, about 2 hours, before serving.
