Finally I get a chance to cook a recipe for #mycookbook!

A quick and easy pud, of course if you’ve no figs use apples, but not Bramleys. Cox work well, peeled, cored and cut into 6 wedges.

Top tips: Slowly melt butter and sugar, together, to avoid burning, stir occasionally. Leave the fruit and sugar to cool a while before adding pastry. Essential: leave the Tarte to cool for 30 mins before tipping out otherwise the caramel will run everywhere.

Steps

40 mins

1

Melt a large knob of butter in a small, oven proof frying pan.
2

Add 4 tablespoons muscavado or any brown sugar. Stir. Allow to melt together.
Add a few Pecans broken into pieces and a pinch of Cinnamon.
3

Cut figs in half lengthways. I used 4.5.
Place face down in the buttery sugary mix and gently heat for 5 mins.
4

Remove from heat and leave to cool while you roll out a quarter pack of puff pastry into a circle to fit into the pan.
5

Lay the pastry over the figs and tuck around the edges.
6

Bake for 20 mins in the oven.
7

Once browned remove from the oven (use a cloth for the handle, obvious I know but easy to forget!) and leave to cool in the pan for 30 mins. This is important to allow the caramel to lightly set.
8

Place a plate over the Tarte and swiftly top over. Allow the Tarte to fall onto the plate.
Serve with Vanilla ice cream or whipped Chantilly cream.
