Absolutely delicious. I used honeycrisp apples and the cake was delectable. Browning the butter does take some time and definitely needs attention to make sure it does not burn but the results are well worth it. I used a natural sugar on top and it gave the cake/tart a wonderful coating. Crispy almost like a creme brulee but not as caramelized.
Buttery Apple Cake-Tart
A cross between a cake and a tart, this dessert features a winning, warm combo of apples and brown butter.

FROM THE
RECIPE:
I bake it in a shallow tart pan, which allows for maximum crustiness and a somewhat lighter texture. I've also taken out the cinnamon, which I felt was masking the delicate flavor of the browned butter, and replaced it with a vanilla bean, since vanilla bean sauteed in brown butter is one of the best things ever, trust me. The result is something really unique, like I said, a cross between a cake and a tart, crisp and soft, buttery, fragrant and fruity.
