1. Crust: Cut the vegan buttery stick and shortening into about 1/2-inch pieces. Pulse in food processor with flour, sugar, and salt about 10 times or until crumbly. Add 3 to 6 tbsp ice water (amount will vary depending on kitchen temperature and humidity) and pulse about another 5 times or until mixture holds its shape when a small amount is squeezed in fist. Place dough in an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350F. Roll out dough about 1/8-inch thick and press into a 9-inch deep dish pie plate. Dock bottom with a fork, line with parchment paper and fill with pie weights. Bake for 14 to 16 minutes or until very lightly browned.
2. Filling: When crust has cooled, preheat oven to 375F. Gently mix together all filling ingredients, then fill pie crust.
3. Topping: Mix together all streusel topping ingredients well using a fork, then spoon evenly over the berry filling.
4. Place pie on a cookie sheet and bake at 375F. After 20 to 25 minutes, or when the topping and crust edges are browned, loosely cover the entire pie with aluminum foil, reduce the temperature to 350F and bake for an additional 50 to 60 minutes or until the filling just begins to bubble around the edges. Allow to cool for at least 30 minutes.
5. Glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar and 2 tbsp lime juice. Gradually add additional lime juice, several drops at a time as needed until desired consistency is reached. Drizzle onto cooled pie.
