How To Make fig pie

  • Step 1
    Preheat the oven to 425. Prepare the pie pastry. Line the pie pan with the bottom crust, using half of the dough. Keep the remaining dough chilled. Combine the brown sugar and ginger. Stir in the figs, and lemon juice. Mix well. Turn the filling into the crust and dot with butter and sprinkle with cinnamon. Roll out top crust and arrange on top pricking holes in the top for steam to escape. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar over the top crust. Bake 30 minutes or until golden brown.
