- 4 large ripe peaches or nectarines
- 1 sheet of pre-rolled light puff pastry 375g

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Wash and stone the peaches, cutting each into 8 slices.
- Place the nectarines into a mixing bowl along with the cornflour, caster sugar and vanilla extract, mixing well.
- Grease a baking tray and unroll the puff pastry onto it.
- Pile the nectarines into the middle (in a rectangle) leaving about a 6cm border of pastry all the way round.
- Fold the sides of the pastry up towards the middle (working your way round in sequence).
- Brush the pastry with egg wash and sprinkle on the Demerara sugar.
- Bake on the middle shelf of oven for 30 mins or until pastry is golden brown and baked through. (Turning towards the end is a good idea for an even bake).

- Place a knob of butter on the end of a fork and rub over the exposed peach slices to form a glossy finish.
- Serve warm slices with ice cream.
