Before peeling, drop fresh peaches into very hot water about 1 minute. Peel and halve peaches, remove pits and cut flesh into sixths. In a large mixing bowl, carefully spoon together peaches, brown sugar, tapioca and almond extract. Pour peach filling into greased baking pan or dish; drizzle with oil and set aside.
In another large mixing bowl, combine crust ingredients. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon about 30 seconds until a stiff dough format. Spoon dough on top of peach filling to create a cobblestone effect. Bake 20-25 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Cool 30 minutes; then serve with dates and yogurt mixture.

2 cup packaged biscuit mix
1/3 cup milk
1/3 cup raspberry preserves
3/4 cup sifted powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon milk (up to 3)
1 tablespoon sliced almonds; toasted (optional)

In a medium mixing bowl cut cream cheese into biscuit mix until crumbly. Stir in the 1/3 cup milk. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface; knead gently 8 to 10 strokes. On waxed paper roll dough to a 12X8-inch rectangle. Turn onto a greased baking sheet; remove paper. Spread preserves down center of dough. Make 2 & 1/2-inch-long cuts, at 1-inch intervals, from edges of long sides toward the center. Starting at an end, alternately fold opposite strips of dough, at an angle, across the filling. Slightly press ends together in the center to seal. Bake in a 425 degree oven for 15 to 17 minutes or until golden brown. In a small mixing bowl combine powdered sugar, vanilla, and enough of the 1 to 3 teaspoons milk to make it of drizzling consistency. Drizzle over warm coffee cake. If desired, sprinkle with almonds.
Makes 12 servings.
