Place parchment paper in 9x9" glass baking dish.
In a large bowl combine all crust and streusel ingredients. Mix well with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Reserve 1 ½ cups of streusel; set aside. Place remaining streusel in dish and press it down onto the bottom of the dish to create a crust. Set aside.
For the filling, mix all ingredients well, then pour onto the crust.
Place baking dish into the oven for 20 minutes.
Remove from oven and sprinkle top of bars with remaining streusel. Then gently pat streusel into filling and bake 12 more minutes.
Remove from oven and cool completely. These lemon streusel bars are best after they've been refrigerated overnight or for 6 hours. Cut into bars and serve.
