Easy to prepare yet undeniably impressive, this rhubarb-berry pie is destined to become a cherished favorite.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and salt.
Cut in the chilled, diced butter using a pastry cutter or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the ice water 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing just until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing.
Divide the dough into two discs, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
While the dough is chilling, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb, mixed berries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Toss gently until evenly coated.
Roll out one of the chilled dough discs on a floured surface, about 1/8-inch thick, and transfer it to a 9-inch pie pan.
Fill the pie crust evenly with the rhubarb-berry mixture.
Roll out the second dough disc and place it over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal. Cut small slits on top to release steam.
Brush the top crust with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. This helps the filling set.
