4 nectarines, seeded, halved, thinly sliced

1.Preheat oven to very hot, 220°C (200°C fan-forced). Lightly grease and line an oven tray with baking paper.

2.Trim comers of pastry sheet to make a 23cm circle. Place on tray. Fold over edges to make a 1cm border. Prick base with a fork and brush all over with yolk. Bake 5 minutes, then push down puffed up centre.

3.Roll almond paste until 5mm thick. Cut into strips and space evenly over pastry base. Arrange nectarines in a fanned pattern over top. Sprinkle evenly with almonds.

4.Bake 12-15 minutes, until pastry is crisp and nectarines tender. Serve warm with cream or ice-cream.

You could also use plums, pears or apples in place of nectarines.
