Peach and Sesame Crumble

Step 1

Place a rack in top third of oven; preheat to 375°F. Toast sesame seeds on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing halfway through, until golden brown, 12–15 minutes. Immediately transfer to a large bowl.

Step 3

Add flour and remaining 1¼ cups sugar and 1 tsp. salt to bowl with sesame seeds. Whisk to combine.

Step 4

Add butter and cinnamon to bowl with lemon zest. Microwave until butter is melted, about 1 minute. (Or, if you don't have a microwave, melt butter with cinnamon and lemon zest in a small saucepan over medium.) Whisk in tahini and oil.

Step 5

Scrape tahini mixture into dry ingredients and mix until incorporated (mixture should hold together when squeezed in your hand).

Step 6

The peaches should look juicy at this point. Add 1 tsp. cornstarch. If they’re really juicy, add another 1 tsp. Gently toss to combine. (If your peaches happen to be not-so-ripe and aren't juicy, don't add any cornstarch.)

Step 7

Squeeze topping into big clumps, then break off uneven pieces and scatter over peaches.

Step 8

Bake crumble until topping is well browned and firm, peaches are tender, and juices are bubbling, about 1 hour. Let cool slightly.

Step 9

Divide crumble among shallow bowls and add a scoop of ice cream if desired.
