Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a 16cm x 26cm slice pan with baking paper, allowing the sides to overhang. Place oats, flour, sugar, cinnamon and spread in a food processor and process until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add the egg yolk and 2 tbs water and process until mixture comes together.
Step 2
Reserve one-quarter of the oat mixture in a small bowl. Press the remaining mixture over the base of the prepared pan. Use the back of a spoon to smooth the surface. Bake for 10 mins or until lightly browned.
Step 3
Meanwhile, to make the custard filling, place the custard powder in a medium saucepan. Add a little of the milk and stir until a smooth paste forms. Gradually add the remaining milk, stirring after each addition, until well combined. Stir in the maple syrup. Place over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring constantly, for 3-4 mins or until mixture boils and thickens.
Step 4
Carefully pour custard filling over the slice base. Set aside for 5 mins to cool slightly. Arrange nectarine on top.
Step 5
Combine extra oats with reserved oat mixture in the bowl. Sprinkle over the nectarine. Bake for 25-30 mins or until the nectarine is just tender. Cool completely in the pan. Cut into pieces.
