Strawberry-Rhubarb Crumb Pie!

What is it about the combination of strawberries and rhubarb that is just so delectable? What's even better is they are both a spring seasonal ingredient! It's like the universe made them for each other! And what better way to serve them than in a warm baked pie topped with buttery sweet crumb topping?

This was pretty much a wing-it recipe, as I had not made the rhubarb sauce recipe I wanted to late last week and I needed to use up my rhubarb. I did use a frozen pie crust because I had one on hand. But definitely make one by hand if you have the time! Here is the recipe as close to what I did as I can make it :)

Filling:
Enough chopped strawberries and rhubarb to fill the pie crust to about 3/4 of the way full
1/3 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar

Crumb topping:
6tbsp butter
1/4 cup each flour, quick oats, brown and regular sugars.

For the filling mix strawberries, rhubarb, sugar and flour together and dump into pie crust

For the topping put all ingredients into a food processor and pulse till combined and crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the pie.

Bake the whole thing in a 400 degree oven for 25-35 min. Let stand at least 10 min before serving.

It comes out perfectly delicious, I know because I just finished my second slice... And I am pretty sure my fiancé is ready for a third! :) please enjoy and share my blog! Happy eating.
