  2. Combine raspberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, salt, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Let sit for 10 minutes.

  4. Cut slits into top crust for ventilation. Brush with whisked egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  5. Bake pie for 50 minutes or until golden brown and filling is bubbling. Cool on wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving.
