Add in the ¼ cup brown sugar, the cornstarch, and the almond (or vanilla) extract. Carefully toss to coat the fruit. Set aside for later. 6.Once done, take and roll the dough into a 12-inch circle on a piece of parchment paper covered with flour lightly. Make certain to leave the dough on the parchment paper and then transfer it to a baking sheet. 7.Once you have it moved, take and start to spoon the fruit mixture onto the dough circle, and spread it towards the edges, but leave about 2 inches from the edge. 8.Take and fold the dough edges over then crimp and pleat the edges as needed. 9.Use a beaten egg and brush over the crust edges and sprinkle it with 1-tbsp of the brown sugar. 10.Put in the oven and bake on the center rack of for about 45 minutes or until turning brown. 11.Once done, remove and put on a cooling rack.
