Easy Strawberry "Crumble-Tart"

It's not really a tart, nor a crumble, but it is mighty tasty. The ingredient list looks long, but this is not difficult to make at all. Mine's not as pretty as I had hoped because the brand of pie crust I bought (which was not Pillsbury) just was not great quality. In the future I'll be sticking with the tried and true. Lol

P.S.
The optional food coloring just helps make it more vibrant for appearance purposes.

Cooking is a hobby and a passion of mine. I love cooking and trying new and different things. The best thing about cooking? I get to prepare delicious food for my family and friends that they (almost) always love! Lol.Many of my recipes are experiments in what I could make with what was available at the time. Many are simply my version of classic and/or popular dishes. A few are variations of recipes I have found elsewhere online but adjusted to our tastes. No matter what, though, each of my recipes is tried and tested before posting and I hope you find as much joy in preparing them as I do.
