In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, and salt.
Add the chilled butter cubes to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour in the ice water gradually, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough starts to come together. Form the dough into two discs. Wrap each disc in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In another bowl, combine the fresh raspberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Gently toss the mixture until the raspberries are evenly coated.
Remove one dough disc from the refrigerator. On a lightly floured surface (using gluten-free flour), roll out the dough to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Carefully transfer the rolled dough into the pie pan.
Pour the raspberry filling into the pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Take the second disc of dough and roll it out on a lightly floured surface. You can cut it into strips to create a lattice top or keep it whole for a full top crust. If using a full top crust, make sure to cut a few slits in it to allow steam to escape.
Place the rolled dough over the raspberry filling. If desired, brush the top crust with the beaten egg to give it a golden finish.
Bake the pie for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the filling to set.
