Bake until crust is pale golden, piercing with fork if crust bubbles, about 12 minutes. Transfer to rack and cool. Maintain over temperature. Fill crust with berry mixture. Combine flour, brown sugar, oats and lemon peel in large bowl. Using fingertips, mix in butter until moist clumps form. Sprinkle streusel topping over berry filling, covering completely. Bake pie until topping is golden, about 35 minutes. Transfer to rack and cool. Notes: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover with foil and store at room temperature.)
