Baked apples with sweet miso

Sweet miso is one of the most interesting dessert tricks of Japanese cooking: the salty umami of white miso with honey and butter gives a caramel-like depth, and the baked apple softens in this less sweet but rich glaze. Surprising, but it works.

Tap a step once you've finished it.

1. Preheat the oven to 190 °C (175 °C fan).
2. Mix the miso with the honey, butter, oats and cinnamon until smooth.
3. Score the skin of each apple around the middle (so they do not burst) and stand them in a baking dish.
4. Fill the centres with the miso-oat mixture and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
5. Pour the water into the dish and bake for 30–35 minutes until the apples are soft but still hold their shape. ⏱ Timer: 30 min
6. Serve warm with yoghurt or ice cream, spooning over the juices from the dish.

Tips

• Use only white (shiro) miso; red is too salty and strong.
• Very little miso is enough: a teaspoon gives the depth.
• The water in the dish stops the glaze from burning.
• Best fresh and warm.
