Ingredients

  • pieces Butter, unsalted

  • 500 g Dough, puff

  • 8 pieces Figs, fresh

  • 2 spoons Honey

  • pieces Juice, orange

  • 200 g Butter, unsalted

  • 180 g Sugar, white

  • 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla, extract, imitation

  • 2 piece Egg, fresh

  • 200 g Nuts, almonds

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Grease a round pie dish (25 cm in diameter) with butter and dust it with flour (remove any excess flour). Roll out the shortcrust pastry thinly on a lightly floured surface, then carefully transfer it to the pie dish. Gently press it into the bottom and sides of the dish with your fingers and trim any excess pastry (make sure the pastry reaches the top edge of the dish). Prick the pastry with a fork in several places, then refrigerate the dish for 30 minutes.

  2. Clean the figs and cut them into quarters, arranging them in a smaller baking dish (with the cut side facing up). In a small bowl, mix the orange juice and honey, then pour the mixture over the figs in the dish. Place the dish in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.

  3. Cover the pastry in the pie dish with a piece of baking paper, then scatter dry beans (baking beads) over the paper. Place the dish with the pastry in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

  4. While the pastry is baking, prepare the frangipane. In a bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and sugar. Add the eggs and almond extract, and mix until the ingredients are well combined. Finally, fold in the ground almonds.

  5. Remove the pie dish with the partially baked pastry from the refrigerator and carefully remove the beans and baking paper. Spread the frangipane evenly over the pastry and arrange the baked fig quarters on top. Bake the pie in the middle of the oven for another 60 to 75 minutes. Once baked, let it cool to room temperature.

  6. Cut the cooled pie into slices of your desired size, place them on plates, drizzle with the syrup that formed during the baking of the figs, and serve the prepared dessert.
