Creating the perfect Strawberry Rhubarb Crumb Pie is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Pie Crust: In a large bowl, combine 2 ½ cups of flour, salt, and sugar. Cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until a dough forms. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) while the dough chills.

3. Make the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, chopped rhubarb, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss gently until well mixed and set aside.

4. Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a circle that fits your pie pan. Transfer it carefully to the pan, trimming the edges as needed.

5. Add the Filling: Pour the strawberry and rhubarb mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.

6. Prepare the Crumb Topping: In a separate bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, oats, melted butter, and cinnamon until crumbly. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the fruit filling.

7. Bake the Pie: Place your pie in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

8. Cool the Pie: Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes to set.

9. Serve: Once cooled, slice the pie carefully to serve, enjoying the delicious combination of flavors.

By following these simple steps, you’ll create an incredible Strawberry Rhubarb Crumb Pie that will be a hit with everyone!
