Rhubarb strawberry crisp - use equal amounts of oatmeal. flour. brown sugar, butter and mix it well.

Left over frozen rhubarb and frozen strawberries: I thicken using sugar and cornstarch OR sugar and tapioca. Recipe in and older post for fruit crisp.

For a small square I used 1/2 cup or 125 ml of oatmeal, brown sugar, flour and butter

Pat down lightly.....

Fresh pastry rounds: from the refrigeration section of a grocery store

pre rolled pastry for a 9" pie plate; found with biscuits in a tube.

2 pieces - top and bottom or one open face pie

I like a  glass pan, better browning of bottom crust.

Mrs Wakely's recipe for apple pie filling. Canned would work. 

I piled the apples higher in the center

Top layer on

Following the package directions, I tucked the pastry together and crimped the edge. Cream on the top, and a sprinkle of sugar. Air vents are important!

Looks good.....I still prefer my homemade pastry, made from lard.
