adding the remainder if necessary. Press dough together on a floured
surface, wrap and allow to rest while preparing filling.

For filling combine apricots and cherries in a bowl and toss with sugar.
Pour into a large gratin dish or other shallow baking dish. Dot with butter
and sprinkle evenly with the almond extract.

Press the dough out on a floured surface until roughly the size of the
baking dish. Lift dough onto filling and cut several vent holes in top.

Bake the cobbler at 450 degrees about 20 minutes, until crust is well
colored and filling is bubbling. Cool slightly on a rack and serve warm or
at room temperature with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
