INGREDIENTS:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup shortening
3/4 cup whipping cream
8 cups sliced fresh peaches or apples
2 cups sugar, plus more for sprinkling
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup butter or margarine

DIRECTIONS:
Combine first 4 ingredients; cut in shortening
until mixture resembles coarse meal.  Sprinkle
cream over mixture and toss with fork until
dough forms a ball.  Knead 4 or 5 times; wrap
in plastic wrap, and chill at least 1 hour.
Meanwhile, combine fruit, 2 cups sugar, flour,
and cinnamon in a dutch oven; set aside until
syrup forms.  Bring to a boil; reduce heat, 
and stir in vanilla and butter until melted.
Preheat oven to 475 degrees.  Roll half of
pastry to a 12 x 8-inch rectangle.  Spoon half
of fruit into a lightly buttered 12 x 8 x 2-inch
baking dish; place pastry on top.  Sprinkle with
a little sugar; bake for 15 minutes, or until
very lightly browned.  Spoon remaining fruit on 
top; roll remaining pastry to 1/8-inch thickness
and cut into 1-inch strips.  Arrange strips in
lattice design over peaches.  Sprinkle with 
sugar.  Bake 20 additional minutes or until
browned.

Yield:  8 to 10 servings
