Method
Ingredients1. Preheat the oven to 190°C. Cut 8 slices from each nectarine. Place in a 25 x 15 cm greased pie dish. Add the orange zest and juice and sprinkle with the sugar. Grate over a little nutmeg, tuck in the cinnamon and star anise.

Cook's note: I usually use oats in crumbles but in summer, I like to use almond flour for lightness.
