Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup Whole wheat pastry flour

  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 375ðF (190ðC).

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat pastry flour and sesame seeds.
  3. 3
    Cut the cold margarine into small cubes and add to the flour mixture.
  4. 4
    Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the margarine into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. 5
    Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough just begins to hold together when pressed.
  6. 6
    Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a flat disc.

Note

For a crispier crust, toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before adding them to the flour.

If the peaches are very juicy, you may add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to the fruit mixture to help thicken the filling.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat slices in the oven for a few minutes to restore crust crispiness.

Ensure your margarine is very cold before cutting it into the flour to achieve the best texture for the pastry.
