This may sound like an unseemly combination… but trust me! The miso gives a new depth of umami to the caramel and is something you never knew you needed in your peach crumble bars, but will soon be transformed and not want to make it without it again. This is also a great way to use up peaches that are slightly too ripe.

The shortbread base is crispy, the miso caramel peach middle is jammy and has the perfect amount of umami, and the crumble top is buttery and baked until golden.
