Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Wash and slice the nectarines, removing the pits.

In a bowl, combine nectarines, blueberries, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss gently to coat the fruit.

In another bowl, mix flour and salt. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add cold water gradually, mixing until the dough forms a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Spoon the fruit mixture into the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border.

Fold the edges of the dough over the fruit, pleating it to create a rustic look.

Brush the crust with beaten egg for shine. Sprinkle with additional sugar if desired.

Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the crust is golden and the fruit is bubbly.

Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
