Description
A unique dessert recipe combining the flavors of miso and caramel with fresh apples in a tart.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pre-made pie crusts (9-inch)
- 4 medium apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced (about 4 cups)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup miso paste (white or yellow)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar and butter. Stir until the mixture turns a deep amber color, about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to burn it.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in the miso paste until smooth. Gradually add the heavy cream and vanilla extract, stirring until well combined.
- Place one pie crust in a 9-inch tart pan. Layer the apple slices in the crust, arranging them in a circular pattern. Pour the miso caramel sauce evenly over the apples.
- Cover the tart with the second pie crust, cutting slits for steam to escape. Crimp the edges to seal.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender. Let cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- For a nutty flavor, consider adding 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the apple mixture before baking.
- For a twist, try using different types of apples like Granny Smith for tartness or Honeycrisp for sweetness.
- You can also drizzle extra miso caramel on top before serving for added flavor.
