Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Roll out the bottom crust on a floured surface and use it to line a 9-inch pie plate.
Combine the raspberries, peaches, 3/4 cup of sugar, cornstarch, salt, lemon juice, and vanilla bean paste in a bowl. Toss to evenly distribute the cornstarch and sugar with the fruit.
3 cups fresh or frozen raspberries, 4 cups fresh peach slices, 3/4 cup granulated sugar , 5 Tablespoons cornstarch, Pinch or salt, 1 Tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
Transfer the filling into the pie crust. If there is a lot of juice being released by the fruit, you can either discard or transfer to a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 30-60 seconds in the microwave to thicken before adding to the pie crust with the rest of the filling.
Roll out the top crust and slice into strips of varying width using a pizza cutter or sharp knife. Lay the strips across the filling in one direction with a little space between them. Alternate lifting back every other strip and laying strips across going the other direction. Then replace the folded back strips and fold back the other strips, laying another strip across in the opposite direction. Repeat this process to make a lattice crust, then trim and crimp the edges with the tines of a fork.
Beat the egg in a bowl to make an egg wash, then brush on top of the lattice crust. Sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of sugar.
1 egg
Bake for 15 minutes at 425°F, then drop the oven temp to 375°F without opening the oven door and bake another 40-50 minutes until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly.
Cool completely for 4-6 hours before slicing and serving.
