Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Combine flour and 1/2 cup sugar in a 9x13-inch baking pan; cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Press firmly into an even layer.

Bake in preheated oven until crust is slightly browned, about 25 minutes.

Step 4

Place 1/3 of the nectarine slices in a blender and puree until smooth. Stir cornstarch into the mixture until evenly distributed.
