Outstanding - this is one of the tastiest pies I have ever made! I used frozen strawberries and rhubarb that I had leftover from the summer, and it turned out beautifully. I measured the 4 cups of each while they were frozen, thawed them out, and drained off the excess juice before I mixed the filling together. The crumble topping is also great - very crunchy and tasty, but not too sweet. And the almonds are a nice bonus! Enjoy everyone :)

Ooooohhhh. This is so good Mel. A combination of tart/sweet in a heavenly crust. I took your advice about putting in some additional cinnamon and only added 1/4 t. I think even a bit more wouldn't hurt. I did omit the orange zest, but other than that everything was perfect. A sure keeper for this time of year when everything is fresh. My strawberries were just picked and the rhubarb was only a few days old. Wonderful, Wonderful!~

This made a great crumble. I'm sorry Mel but I didn't use the crust and made it as a regular crumble (Saved a lot of fat, calories and time.....also, I hate messing with pie crusts, lol). I'know that it would be a really nice pie slice though thanks to the tapioca thickening the liquid to a gel consistency. I used frozen rhubarb and strawberries and added 1 tsp of cinnamon. We two simply love it and I already have "permission" to make it again soon. Total winner.
