Perfect for summer gatherings or holiday feasts, this Raspberry Rhubarb Pie is sure to impress!
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into two discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb, fresh raspberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir gently to coat the fruit evenly. Set aside.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of chilled dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer it to a 9-inch pie plate and press it into the bottom and edges.
Pour the raspberry rhubarb filling into the prepared pie crust.
Roll out the second disc of dough into another 12-inch circle. Place it over the filling and trim any excess dough. Seal the edges by crimping or pressing them together with a fork. Cut small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. Alternatively, create a lattice pattern with the top crust for a decorative look.
Brush the top crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar for a golden finish.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips, and bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the filling to set properly.
Slice and enjoy your Raspberry Rhubarb Pie!
