Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Fresh figs
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 15 grams All-purpose flour
- 15 milliliters Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 15 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 sheets Prepared pie crust
- 1 large Egg
- 15 milliliters Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
Rinse the fresh figs under cool water and pat them dry. Slice each fig into quarters or eighths, depending on their size.
In a mixing bowl, toss the fig slices with granulated sugar, brown sugar, all-purpose flour, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Mix until the figs are evenly coated in the mixture.
Roll out one sheet of the prepared pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Let the excess dough hang over the edges.
Spoon the fig filling into the crust-lined pie dish, spreading it out evenly.
Dot the filling with small pieces of unsalted butter to create a rich texture and flavor.
Roll out the second sheet of pie crust and lay it over the pie. Trim the excess dough from the edges, leaving about 1 inch overhang. Fold and crimp the edges together to seal the pie.
Beat the egg with the water in a small bowl to create an egg wash. Brush this mixture over the top crust for a golden finish.
Cut a few small slits into the top of the pie to allow steam to escape during baking.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the filling to set.
Slice and serve the pie as is, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.
