Strawberry Rhubarb Crumb Pie

The balance of rhubarb, strawberries, orange, and nutmeg is brilliant! It was made even better since it was made from rhubarb I cut from our yard!

  1. I will have to try this version, we love our strawberry rhubarb pie around here! I always cook my filling in a pot on the stove until thickened and then add it to the pie and bake, that way I can adjust the filling consistency easily.
