In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add cold water a little at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Divide the dough in half, shape into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
In another large bowl, combine the blueberries, sliced apples, brown sugar, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and lemon juice. Mix until the fruit is evenly coated.
On a floured surface, roll out one disc of dough into a circle large enough to fit your pie dish. Transfer it to the dish and press gently into the edges.
Pour the blueberry and apple filling into the pie crust, making sure it is evenly distributed.
Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the filling. Trim excess dough and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon of water. Brush this egg wash over the top crust for a golden finish.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
