Rhubarb and Strawberry Crumb Pie

The best thing in the Summer is when you can go out into your garden and harvest your own fruit, berries and vegetables. This is a one of those classic favorit desserts we keep making time and time again, you'll never get tired of it.

The variations on this crumb pie is endless too, use whatever fruit or berries you have available. The crumb topping is a lot faster than making a pie dough, which needs to be chilled, then rolled out and pre-baked. Plus, if your are gluten intolerant, or just trying to eat less white flour and healthier, then this is a great alternative.
