7. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.

8. Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Tips:

If you don't have fresh strawberries and rhubarb, you can use frozen instead. Just make sure to thaw them first and drain off any excess liquid.
If the crumb topping starts to brown too quickly, cover the pie with foil for the last 10-15 minutes of baking.
Serve the pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat.
