1/3 cup sugar

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon almond extract

Instructions

1 Preheat oven to 375°. Cream butter, sugar and nutmeg until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in flour until blended (mixture will be dry). Press firmly onto bottom and up side of an ungreased 9-in. fluted tart pan with removable bottom.

3 In a large bowl, toss peaches with sugar, flour, cinnamon and extract; add to crust. Sprinkle with almonds.

4 Bake tart on a lower oven rack until crust is golden brown and peaches are tender, 40-45 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. If desired, serve with whipped cream.
