Yum, this Granny Smith Apple and Brown Butter Custard Tart from Pastry Chef Kate Neumann (from Chicago's MK the Restaurant) looks delicious. While I'm normally not one for changing things up in the dessert arena on Thanksgiving, this "sweet custard loaded with caramelized apples and baked in a buttery tart shell" could be a nice alternative to apple pie. Or maybe in addition to apple pie, so you don't have to chose.
