   • In a large bowl, combine the diced rhubarb, sliced strawberries, sugar, flour, and lemon juice. Stir well until the fruit is coated evenly with the sugar and flour mixture.

2. Assemble the Pie:

   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
   • Transfer the fruit mixture into a 9-inch pie shell, spreading it out evenly.

3. Make the Streusel Topping:

   • In another bowl, combine the 1 cup flour, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon.
   • Add the chilled pieces of margarine and butter.
   • Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. The streusel should hold together when pressed but still be crumbly.

4. Top and Bake:

   • Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the rhubarb-strawberry mixture in the pie shell.
   • Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for about 50 minutes, or until the streusel topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling.

5. Serve:

   • Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.
   • Cut the pie into 8 wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips for Freezing Individual Pies

• If making smaller 5-inch pies as mentioned, assemble the pies in individual pie pans.
• Freeze the unbaked pies directly in the pie pans. Once frozen solid, wrap each pie well in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn.
• Label and date each pie for easy identification.
• To bake a frozen pie, unwrap it and place it directly in the preheated oven. Increase the baking time as needed, typically adding about 10-15 minutes to the baking time for a thawed pie.

Additional Notes

• This recipe is perfect for using frozen rhubarb and strawberries, ensuring consistent and delicious pies every time.
• Experiment with the sweetness level by adjusting the amount of sugar based on personal preference and the tartness of your rhubarb and strawberries.

Enjoy this Strawberry Rhubarb Streusel Pie with its perfect balance of sweet, tart, and crunchy textures, ideal for any dessert occasion or a sweet treat any time of day!
