Apple Cranberry Pie With Oatmeal Cookie Crust

I haven't made this yet, but it sounds so good that I don't think it will be long before I do. It sounds almost like an apple crisp rather than a pie.

CRUST
3 c Rolled Oats
1 c Flour
1 1/2 t cinnamon
6 T Brown Sugar
1 t vanilla extract
1 c Unsalted Butter,melted
FILLING
7 c Granny Smith apples,peeled & thinly sliced
1 c cranberries,fresh or frozen
3 T lemon juice,freshly squeezed
1 1/2 t ground cinnamon
1/4 t ground allspice
1/4 t ground nutmeg
1/2 t Lemon Peel,grated
3 T Flour
1/4 c Brown Sugar,packed
1/2 c sour cream

Prepare crust: Combine all crust ingredients in a medium-sized bowl, and mix well. Press firmly and evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9 or 10-inch pie pan (or 9-inch deep dish), forming a thick crust. Reserve about a cup of the crust mix for the topping. Preheat oven to 375F. Prepare filling: Place sliced apples and cranberries in a large bowl. Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with spices; toss until well coated. Add peel. Sprinkle in flour and mix again. Gradually add brown sugar and sour cream as you mix. Place the filling into the unbaked crust. Sprinkle the reserved crust crumbs over the top and pat neatly into place. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until the apples are soft and the crust is nicely browned on the edges. Note: If the top appears to be browning too quickly during baking, cover loosely with foil.
