"Dutch" Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

Last week I made one final strawberry rhubarb dessert. I made a pie to bring to a family gathering. Instead of a traditional pie I made it similar to Dutch Apple Pie with a crumble topping. It was a big hit with everyone. So good! I might have to make this every summer.
