7. Add the ice water and pulse to a crumb texture
8. Sprinkle the dough on top of the fruit.
9. Melt the remaining ¼ cup of butter until it is a nutty brown color. Drizzle the melted butter over the pastry chunks, (make sure you get all the little brown “crumbs” out of the pan- that is the good part!)
