FRESH FIG PIE TO WELCOME FALL
Fresh figs and a piecrust are about all you need for this satisfying pie. To prepare the figs, trim away their tiny stems and cut them lengthwise in half or into quarters. Big chunks work best, so use a knife, not a food processor for this job. I think combinations of fruit would be wonderful. If you come up with one, let me know. I'm thinking figs and peaches; or pears; or apples; or bananas.....

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
Fig season is a fleeting time, but one that makes us grateful to live in the South. With so many different varieties from delicate white-fleshed ones to others with dark pink interiors and molasses-like sweetness, our region has an embarrassment of riches when it comes to this unique fruit. For this pie we recommend finding fresh figs at the farmers' market and relying on varieties like Brown Turkey, Alma, or Black Italian. Make sure to look if the opening on the bottom of the fig is completely closed. If it's open, there's a small chance a wasp could still be inside from the pollination process. Also take note of the sweetness level of the figs you use. If they're on the sweeter side, you might want to increase the amount of lemon juice or decrease it if the figs have a lighter taste.

FRESH FIG TART
The photogenic tart will make you look like a pastry chef, though it's no more difficult than baking a pie. A sweet tart crust is layered with almond cream, fig jam (homemade is nice, but store-bought works well, too) and fresh figs. The key to success is superb figs. They can't be so jammy that they collapse when you cut them into quarters or sixths. But they should be sweet and ripe. The dough recipe below makes two crusts, one for now and one for later (store extra dough, well-wrapped, in the freezer).

Steps:
- Prepare the crust: In a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream butter and sea salt on medium speed for about 1 minute. Scrape down sides of bowl and paddle with a rubber spatula and add confectioners' sugar. Combine with butter at low speed. Once incorporated, scrape down bowl and paddle. Add almond flour and vanilla extract and combine at low speed.
- Gradually add egg and a quarter of the flour (scant 1/2 cup or 55 grams). Beat at low speed until just incorporated. Scrape down bowl and paddle. Gradually add remaining flour and mix just until dough comes together, stopping from time to time to scrape in any mixture adhering to sides and bottom of bowl. Do not overbeat. Dough should be soft to the touch.
- Separate dough into two equal portions. Gently press each portion into a 1/2-inch-thick rectangle. Double-wrap airtight in plastic wrap. Refrigerate one dough portion for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight; chill or freeze the second portion for another use.
- Very lightly butter a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. (You should not be able to see the butter.) On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a 10 1/2-inch circle, 1/4 inch thick. Dust work surface and dough often, and work quickly so dough remains cold. Gently roll dough over lightly dusted rolling pin and transfer to pan, gently easing it in and trimming the top edge. Chill uncovered for at least 1 hour, preferably longer.
- Prepare the tart: Heat oven to 325 degrees. Sift together almond flour, confectioners' sugar, cornstarch and flour into a medium bowl.
- Place butter, salt and vanilla and almond extracts in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle and beat 1 minute at medium speed. Scrape down bowl and paddle, and add almond flour mixture. Beat at medium speed for 1 minute, until incorporated. Stop, scrape down bowl and paddle, then turn on machine and gradually add egg. Add rum and beat at medium speed until egg and rum are incorporated.
- Remove tart shell from refrigerator and place on a baking sheet. Using a fork, pierce rows across surface of crust, about 1 inch apart. Scrape almond cream onto crust and, using a small offset or rubber spatula, spread evenly over crust.
- Place in oven and bake 40 minutes, until crust and almond cream are golden brown and the tip of a knife comes out clean when inserted into cream. Remove from oven and let cool for 40 minutes on a rack.
- Using a small spatula, spread fig jam over surface of tart in an even layer.
- Remove stems from figs. Cut small and medium figs into quarters, large figs into sixths or eights. Arrange in concentric circles, starting with the rim, with the stem end down. Slices should angle upwards. If not serving right away, refrigerate. Dust with powdered sugar just before serving.
FRESH FIG PIE
Figs must be in season in California right now because I see them all over. I had a mini fig tart last week from a local bakery and it was delicious. It did not have any creme. Just a pastry shell, very small figs, quartered with a sugary glazing on top. Simple and delicious. I'm trying to find a recipe that duplicates it. I found this recipe on iFood.tv and want to save it here because this is where I keep my recipes.

Steps:
- Peel and slice figs (enough for 3 cups).
- Stir sugar, orange peel, and lemon juice into figs.
- Turn fruit into unbaked pie shell.
- Dot with butter.
- Bake at 450 degrees 10 minutes; reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees 25 minutes.
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe figs: The quality of your figs will greatly impact the flavor of your pie. Look for figs that are plump, have a deep purple color, and are slightly soft to the touch.
- Don't peel the figs: The skin of the figs adds flavor and texture to the pie. Simply wash the figs well and remove the stems.
- Use a combination of sugar and cornstarch: This will help to thicken the pie filling and prevent it from being too runny.
- Don't overcook the pie: The figs should be soft, but not mushy. Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Let the pie cool completely before slicing: This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.
Conclusion:
Fresh fig pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet, juicy filling and flaky crust, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you have a chance, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
