Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 6 tablespoons ice water (plus more if needed)
  • 5 cups raspberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (cut into small pieces)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. For the crust, combine flour, salt, and sugar in a bowl. Blend in cold butter until crumbly. Gradually add ice water until the dough forms. Divide and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  2. Toss raspberries with sugar, cornstarch, salt, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
  3. Preheat oven to 425°F. Roll out one dough disc and place it in the pie dish. Fill with raspberry mixture and dot with butter.
  4. Cover with the second rolled dough disc, crimp edges to seal, then cut slits for steam to escape.
  5. Brush top crust with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake for about 50 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
