Tempura of apples in caramel, with sesame seeds
4 servings
20 minutes
Apple tempura in caramel with sesame seeds is a refined blend of Eastern culinary traditions and sweet delight. The dish draws inspiration from the Japanese tempura technique, where ingredients are deep-fried to create a crispy golden crust. The juicy sweetness of the apples is perfectly complemented by the caramel glaze, turning fruit pieces into a treat with rich flavor. Sesame seeds add a subtle nutty aroma and crunch to the dish, enriching its texture and making it even more appetizing. This tempura is served warm, enjoying the contrast between the airy batter, caramel sweetness, and slight tartness of the fruits. An ideal dessert to conclude a Pan-Asian meal!
