Instructions

Place a rack in the lowest position of the oven, set a rimmed baking sheet on it, and heat the oven to 425°F.
In a small bowl, whisk the sugar, cornstarch, and salt so the cornstarch doesn't clump.
In a large bowl, toss the strawberries and peaches with the lemon juice and vanilla, then add the sugar mixture and toss until evenly coated. Let stand for 15 minutes, until juicy.
Roll out half of the pastry and fit it into a 9-inch pie plate. Spoon in the filling and its juices, mounding it slightly in the center, and dot with the butter.
Roll out the remaining pastry and lay it over the filling (or weave a lattice). Trim, seal, and crimp the edges. Cut 4 or 5 vents in a solid top crust. Brush the top with the egg wash.
Bake on the hot baking sheet for 20 minutes. Reduce the oven to 375°F and bake until the crust is deep golden and the juices bubble thickly through the vents in the center of the pie, 35 to 50 minutes more. Cover the edges with foil if they brown too fast.
Cool on a wire rack for at least 3 hours before slicing; the filling thickens as it cools.

Tips

Let the filling bubble in the center, not just at the edges; cornstarch needs to boil to thicken.
Vanilla swap: use vanilla bean paste 1:1 in place of the extract for visible specks, or the seeds of 1 vanilla bean for each tablespoon of extract.
Best vanilla for this: Tahitian (floral, cherry, anise), or Madagascar (rich, creamy, classic). Any pure vanilla works.
Storage: Keep covered at room temperature for 1 day, then refrigerate for up to 3 days more.
