Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the blueberries, cranberries, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Toss until the fruits are evenly coated and the ingredients are well mixed.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one of the pie crusts and line the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish with it. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.
Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Cut the 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter into small pieces and dot them evenly over the fruit filling.
Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the fruit mixture. You can either leave it as a full top crust, cut decorative vents into it, or create a lattice pattern. Trim and seal the edges of the crusts together, crimping them with your fingers or a fork.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the top crust for a golden, shiny finish.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Bake the pie for 50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the edges of the crust start to brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the filling to set.
Slice and serve the pie as is, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
