Combine berries, dates, water and lemon juice in a saucepan. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes until it becomes a thick purée. Meanwhile, preheat the oven at 350 F. In a large bowl, add all the dry ingredients of the crust and mix in the butter. Add 2/3 of the mixture to the pyrex and pat it down. Bake for 12 minutes. Meanwhile, add the crumb ingredients to the remaining crust mixture. Pour the filling on the crust and top off with the crumb mixture. Bake for 25 minutes and let cool before serving. Enjoy!
