Equipment
- 1 baking pan I use a 9 inch round pan
- 1 large skillet
- mixing bowls
Ingredients
Apple Filling
- 5-6 apples Granny Smiths, Braebruns, or Honeycrisps -- peeled and chopped in ½ inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon white miso
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 ½ tablespoon sugar
- 2 tablespoon butter
Crumble
- 1 cup flour
- ½ cup dark brown sugar
- 6 tablespoon unsalted butter
- ½ cup pecans chopped
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon white miso
Instructions
- Preheat your oven at 350°F (175°C)
- Prepare the apples: In a large pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon of miso and mix until combined. Add the ½ inch cubed apples, ½ teaspoon of cinnamon, lemon juice, and 1 ½ tablespoons of brown sugar. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are just softened. Transfer the apples to a baking dish and set aside.
- Prepare the Miso Butter for the crumble topping: Melt 6 tablespoons of butter in a small bowl, then whisk in 1 tablespoon of miso until mostly combined. Don’t worry if there are a few lumps.
- Prepare the crumble topping: In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, dark brown sugar, chopped pecans, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pour in the melted miso butter and stir until the mixture forms clumps.
- Assemble and bake: Scatter the crumble topping evenly over the apple mixture. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling. Let it cool before serving. The longer, you wait, the more the filling will set so if you can make it a few hours ahead. Pair with some vanilla ice cream or whipped cream and enjoy!
