HEAT oven to 400°F. Coat an 8×8-inch baking dish lightly with no-stick cooking spray.
COMBINE sugar, corn starch, cinnamon, nutmeg and water in medium saucepan. Add peach slices. Cook over medium-high heat until mixture comes to boil, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Stir in almond extract. Pour into prepared baking dish. Place in oven to keep warm while preparing topping (optional).
MIX flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in medium bowl. Cut in shortening with pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine milk and vanilla. Pour over flour mixture, stirring just until moistened. Remove baking dish from oven. Drop biscuit mixture in 9 mounds on top of hot fruit.
BAKE 20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
