## What Makes It Special?

The beauty of this dessert lies in its simplicity. No pie crusts to roll, no complicated steps — just fresh fruit tossed with a bit of sugar and lemon, topped with a crumbly mixture of oats, flour, butter, and brown sugar. As it bakes, the fruit bubbles up and thickens, while the topping crisps to golden perfection.

The strawberry-rhubarb combination is a beloved classic for a reason: the strawberries bring sweetness and juiciness, while the rhubarb adds a vibrant, tart kick that keeps every bite interesting.
