With a large spoon, gently combine all the filling ingredients. Set the bowl of filling aside for 30 minutes.

Measure your dough ingredients.
In another large bowl, place the flour, baking powder, and salt. Use a whisk to combine the ingredients.
Add the cold butter cubes to the mixture. Work the butter into the dry ingredients with your fingers until the butter is in very small pieces and coated with the flour mixture.
