Who want's some pie? This week, I'm sharing two versions. If you really want to be ambitious, you can make your own pie crust.
9-inch premade pie crust.
3 (7-ounce) bags dried Mission figs, halved
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 large eggs
Preheat oven to 350℉.
In a small saucepan, add dried figs and enough water to cover; bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer. Cook until figs are plump, about 15 minutes. Strain figs, and spread evenly over piecrust.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, add butter, and cook until browned and nutty in aroma. Remove from heat, and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together browner butter, flour, cornstarch, salt, sugar and vanilla. Gently whisk in egg; pour over figs. Bake until firm int he center, about 40 minutes. Let cool for one hour and serve with whipped cream.
Enjoy!!!
