Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°. In a 13x9-inch baking pan, gently stir together blackberries, blueberries, 3/4 cup sugar, flour, salt, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Sprinkle with butter.
On a lightly floured surface, roll 1 portion of Buttery Pastry Dough into a 9x6-inch rectangle. Cut crosswise into 6 strips. Place strips crosswise over fruit mixture, trimming edges, if necessary. Roll remaining portion of Buttery Pastry Dough into a 13x4-inch rectangle. Cut lengthwise into 4 strips. Place strips lengthwise in pan, trimming edges, if necessary.
In a small bowl, whisk together egg and 1 teaspoon water; lightly brush over dough. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon sugar.
Bake until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly, approximately 45 minutes. Let stand 20 minutes. Serve with ice cream.
