  3. Slice the Peaches and place in a medium-size bowl.
  4. Combine the Brown Sugar, Cornstarch, Almond Extract, Butter and Spices; gently toss with the Peach slices.
  5. Place the Peaches in a casserole or deep dish pie plate;  roll out the Dough to fit the top of the peaches;  fit loosely over the top.
  6. Make slits in the crust for the steam to escape.
  7. Bake in an oven that has been preheated to 425 degrees for approximately  45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown;  serve warm with Cream or Ice Cream.
