Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and grease your cast iron skillet, or bakeware. You can use shortening, butter, or nonstick baking spray.
Wash, pat dry, and hull your strawberries. Slice them into halves, or thirds depending on the side of them. Wash, and trim the stalks of your rhubarb. Cut them into 1/4″ slices. Toss berries and rhubarb with vanilla extract, sugar, and cornstarch. Fill the bottom of the pan with the mixture.
To form the crumble, combine melted butter, flour, cinnamon, oats, light brown and granulated sugars. Sprinkle over the top of the fruit.
Place in the oven (center rack) and bake for 40 minutes. Crumble will have a golden brown appearance on the top and be deep red, and bubbly on the sides. Enjoy warm!
