Combine peaches, strawberries, 1/2 cup apple juice, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg in saucepan. Bring to a boil. Cover; reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes. Stir in cornstarch mixture; cook, stirring constantly, until clear and thickened. Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla extract. Cool.
Combine flour, salt and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg; cut in shortening with pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle water over surface; stir until dry ingredients are moistened. Shape into a ball.
Roll pastry to 1/4-inch thickness on a floured surface; cut into 8 1/2-inch strips.
