Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh figs, sliced
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 homemade or store-bought pie crust
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced figs, sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and lemon juice. Mix well until the figs are coated with the sugar mixture.
- Roll out the pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges.
- Pour the fig mixture into the pie crust. Dot the top with small pieces of butter.
- Roll out the remaining pie dough and cut it into thin strips. Create a lattice pattern on top of the pie by weaving the strips over and under each other.
- Brush the lattice top with the beaten egg to give it a glossy finish.
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 1 hour before serving.
- Slice and serve the fig pie on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious dessert.
