Method

Set the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas mark 6. Unroll the pastry on a baking sheet lined with baking parchment.
Mix the sugar and almonds and spread this over the pastry leaving a 4cm border. Arrange the peach slices on top, then dot them with the butter (or melt the butter and brush it over).
Fold the pastry edges over the fruit. Bake for 40-45 mins until golden and cooked through.
Warm the jam and brush it over the fruit to glaze. Serve warm or cold with creme fraiche.
