Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the blackberries, sugar, flour, and cornstarch. Stir gently to coat the berries evenly.
Add the lemon juice and toss lightly. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the berries to release some of their juices.
Line a 9-inch pie pan with one of the pie crust rounds, gently pressing it into the pan.
Spoon the blackberry filling into the crust, spreading it evenly. Dot the top with small pieces of butter.
Cover the filling with the second pie crust round. Trim any excess dough and press the edges together to seal. Crimp as desired for decoration.
Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the top of the pie crust with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Place the pie on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling through the slits.
If the edges of the crust are browning too quickly, cover them with foil or a pie shield halfway through baking.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing. This allows the filling to set properly.
Serve the blackberry pie warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
