List of Ingredients

• 1 tbsp. cornstarch
• 2 tbsp. plus 1 1/2 c. unsweetened apple juice, divided
• 3 c. sliced, peeled fresh peaches
• 1 c. sliced strawberries
• 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg, divided

• 2 tbsp. butter-flavored vegetable shortening

Recipe

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Combine cornstarch and 2 tablespoons apple juice, mixing well. Set aside.

Combine peaches, strawberries, 1/2 cup apple juice, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg in saucepan. Bring to a boil. Cover; reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes. Stir in cornstarch mixture; cook, stirring constantly, until clear and thickened. Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla extract. Cool.

Combine flour, salt and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg; cut in shortening with pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle water over surface; stir until dry ingredients are moistened. Shape into a ball.

Roll pastry to 1/4-inch thickness on a floured surface; cut into 8 1/2-inch strips.

Spoon cooled peach mixture into an 8-inch square baking dish coated with cooking spray. Arrange pastry strips over peaches and strawberries. Bake for 20 minutes or until lightly browned.
