Fresh Fig Pie Recipes

FRESH FIG PIE TO WELCOME FALL

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a small bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt, and stir with a fork to mix well.
• In a medium bowl, combine the figs and the sugar-flour mixture, and toss gently to mix them evenly. Pour the figs into the piecrust, and mound them up toward the center in to a little pile. Pour lemon juice over the figs, and dot with the bits of butter.
• Cover with the top crust and press the sides together to seal them well. Trim and fold the edges under firmly; then crimp to seal the pie, or press the edges down with the tines of a fork to seal them and make a pretty design. Use a fork or a knife to make steam vents so that steam and juicy filling can escape as the pie cooks.
• Place in the 400 degree F oven and bake for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees and bake until the filling is thick and juicy and bubbling out around the top of the pie, and until the crust is golden brown, 40 to 50 minutes. *Transfer to a cooling rack or a folded kitchen towel to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.

FIG PIE

Steps:

• Put quartered figs into a bowl and pour in enough water to cover them completely. Cover bowl and place in refrigerator to soak for 12 hours.
• After 12 hours, pour figs and soaking water into a medium saucepan. Simmer over low heat for 2 1/2 hours, adding more water as necessary to prevent figs from becoming dry.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• To Make Fig Filling: In a small bowl, combine 2 beaten eggs, 2 tablespoons sugar, and salt. Blend together. Gradually pour hot fig mixture into beaten eggs, whisking constantly. Return filling mixture to saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. Pour fig filling into baked pie shell.
• To Make Meringue: In a medium mixing bowl, beat 3 egg whites until foamy. Continue to beat while adding 1/4 cup sugar one tablespoon at a time, until whites form stiff peaks. Spread over fig filling, sealing completely to edge of crust.
• Place in preheated oven and bake 10 to 12 minutes, until meringue is browned.

FIG PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425˚F. Fit piecrust into a 9-inch pie plate, pressing into bottom and up sides. Fold edges under, and crimp, if desired. Spread figs in an even layer in piecrust. Combine eggs, sugar, flour, butter, lemon juice, and ginger in a medium bowl, and stir vigorously until well blended. Pour over figs in piecrust.
• Bake on bottom rack of preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350°F; bake until center is set, about 40 minutes more. Cool completely on a wire rack, about 2 hours. Serve with whipped cream.

EASY FRESH FIG TART RECIPE

Steps:

• In a bowl of a stand mixer, with a paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar for just a minute until well combined. Add the vanilla, salt and egg yolk. Next, add the flour and combine well. Pro tip - Do not overcream as we do not want to add too much air into the dough.
• Make a disc and wrap it in plastic wrap. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least two hours until firm to roll. I prefer to chill overnight Pro tip - If you flatten the dough into a larger disc it will chill faster and you will have to wait for much less time.
• Roll the dough between two pieces of parchment paper dusted with flour to the size of a 9-inch tart pan.Pro tip - This dough is delicate so it is easier to roll it between parchment papers.
• Transfer the dough to the tart pan. Gently press the dough into the tart pan making sure to press down into the shape of the pan. Remove the excess dough and neaten the edges of the tart pan.Pro tip - I like to roll my rolling pin over the tart to cut off the excess around the edges. Then neaten the edges by running your thumb along the edges.
• Chill the crust in the fridge for 15 minutes up to 48 hours. Pro tip - If leaving for a long time make sure to wrap in plastic so it does not dry out.
• Preheat the oven at 400°F / 200°C/ Gas Mark 6Pro tip - It is very essential that the oven is heated to the optimal temperature. Otherwise, the crust can shrink when baking.
• Dock the chilled pastry all over with a fork to prevent the pastry from puffing up. Line the pie with baking sheet. Then, fill the center with pie weights or baking beans (dry beans).
• Bake for 15 minutes. Remove the pie weights and parchment paper. Cool for 5 minutes before adding the filling. Pro tip - This is called blind baking the crust. We do this so that the pastry will be partially cooked before we add the filling.
• Reduce oven temperature to 350°F/ 177°C/ Gas mark 4
• In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar, then add the almond meal, flour, and salt. Add eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Pro tip - Alternatively, you can add all ingredients to a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or food processor and combine well.
• Wash and pat dry the figs then cut into halves or quarters depending on the size.
• In a bowl, combine the eggs and sugar. Whisk thoroughly until light and fluffy. Next, add in the melted butter, flour, lemon juice, zest, vanilla extract. Then, add in the cream and a pinch of salt.
• Pour filling into the partially-baked pastry only about 2/3 full leaving space for the figs.
• Arrange the cut fruit into the tart as best you can. As the batter cooks the figs will sink in further.
• Bake for about 40 to 45 minutes or until the top looks set. Brush the warm figs with honey for a shiny glaze.Pro tip - Place the pie on a baking tray for easy cleanup in case of spillage. If the tart edges brown to quickly cover the edges with aluminum foil or a pie shield
• Chill the pie for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight before serving.Pro tip - Cooling the tart will help the custard filling set and taste so much better.
