  2. Roll out the chilled pastry into a rough circular shape. The thickness of the pastry should be about 2-4 mm.
  3. Once you have rolled out your pastry, transfer it to a baking tray and spoon the filling into the centre leaving about a 2,5-3cm edge around the filling.
  4. Fold the pastry edge over the edge of the filling to form a lip. Dust off any excess flour and brush with beaten egg.
  5. Sprinkle with flaked almonds and bake in a 200C oven for 40-45minutes until the fruit is bubbling and the pastry and almonds are golden brown.
  6. Leave to cool for 20 minutes and then serve with yogurt or ice cream
