Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces fresh figs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 cup Greek yogurt or vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Wash the figs thoroughly, then pat them dry with a paper towel. Cut each fig in half lengthwise.
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until it starts to bubble.
Add the honey, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon to the melted butter. Stir until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is smooth and syrupy, about 2 minutes.
Place the fig halves cut side down into the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the figs start to caramelize and soften.
Gently flip the figs over and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, spooning the syrup over the top as they cook.
Add the vanilla extract, orange zest, and water to the skillet. Stir gently to combine and allow the mixture to cook for another 2 minutes until slightly thickened.
Remove the skillet from heat. Let the figs cool slightly in the syrup before serving.
Serve the sticky cinnamon figs warm with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious treat.
