Preheat oven to 350*. Combine all the crust ingredients (except butter) in a bowl. Cut in the butter until the mixture is coarse and lumpy. Set aside about 1 cup of the crust mixture.

Pour the filling over the warm crust. Sprinkle the remaining crust mixture over the top and bake for 25 minutes. Let cool.
