- Place the sliced nectarines into a mixing bowl along with the cornflour, caster sugar and vanilla extract and mix well.
- Grease a baking tray and unroll the puff pastry onto it.
- Pile the peach slices 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).
