Preheat the oven to 400°F. If using fresh pie pastry roll it out to a 1/4" thick round to fill a 9" pie plate. Carefully place the pastry in the pie plate and trim or flute the edges.
Whisk the egg in a small bowl and use a basting brush to baste the edges of the unbaked pie pastry with the egg mixture to give the crust a golden glow when baked.
Add pie weights to the bottom of the pie plate before par-baking for 10 minutes.
To a large bowl, add the rhubarb, strawberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, ground cardamom, lemon juice and vanilla. Mix well to ensure the sugar and cornstarch have well coated the berries and rhubarb.
Remove the par-baked pie crust from the oven and let the pie weights cool enough to carefully remove them. Add the rhubarb and strawberry filling to the par-baked pie crust.
In a separate bowl, add the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar and salt. Mix well to combine.
Add the butter to the oat mixture and use your hands to work the butter into the dry ingredients to form a coarse bead-like texture.
Top the pie filling with the coarse oat crumble evenly.
Place the unbaked pie on a baking sheet to catch any filling that may boil over and bake for 45-50 minutes or until the crumble topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling along the edges of the pie.
Remove the baked pie from the oven and let it cool completely to set before serving.
