Reduce oven temperature to 375℉ (190℃).
Pie
Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl, gently toss together bananas, pineapple juice, and lemon juice.
Drain, reserving juices.
Gently toss bananas with lemon peel, sugar, and cinnamon.
Turn mixture into pastry shell.
In a small saucepan, combine the reserved juices and cornstarch.
Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly.
Pour over banana mixture in shell.
For the streusel, combine the flour, brown sugar, nuts, and cinnamon.
With a pastry blender, or 2 forks, cut the butter into the mixture until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
