Combine peaches, sugar, flour, and nutmeg; set
aside until syrup forms. Bring peaches to a boil; reduce heat to low, and cook
10 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat, and blend in almond extract and
butter.
Roll out half of pastry to l/8 -inch thickness
on a lightly floured board; cut to fit a 2-quart shallow casserole. Spoon half
of peaches into lightly buttered casserole, and top with cut pastry. Bake at 475
degrees for 12 minutes or until golden brown. Spoon remaining peaches over baked
pastry.
Roll out remaining pastry, and cut into
1/2-inch strips; arrange in lattice design over the peaches. Return to oven for
10 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Yield: 8 to 10 servings.
