Time 2h15m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/4 cups water
1 bag (7 oz) dried Mission figs, stems removed, chopped (about 1 1/3 cups)
3/4 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/4 cup quick-cooking oats
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
3 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
3 to 4 teaspoons milk
1 teaspoon grated orange peel

Steps:

  • In 1-quart saucepan, boil filling ingredients over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until figs are tender and most of liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat; cool 5 to 10 minutes. Pour fig mixture into food processor. Cover; process, using quick on-and-off motions, until figs are pureed; set aside.
  • Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 8-inch square pan with shortening or cooking spray. In large bowl, combine crust ingredients with electric mixer on low speed until crumbly. Press in bottom of pan. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until center is set. Spread filling over crust. Bake 6 to 10 minutes longer or just until filling sets. Cool completely, about 1 hour 15 minutes.
  • In medium bowl, beat 3 tablespoons butter with electric mixer on medium speed until blended. Add powdered sugar. Beat on low speed, adding milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until mixture is smooth and desired spreading consistency. Stir in orange peel. Carefully spread over cooled bars. Cut into 4 rows by 4 rows.

I'm not a huge fan of figs, but I thought these bars were really good. The orange buttercream frosting really helped to balance out the sweetness of the figs.

These bars are a great way to use up leftover figs. I always have a few figs left over after I make jam, and these bars are the perfect way to use them up.

These bars were a bit dry. I think I would try adding some more butter or oil to the dough next time.

I had some trouble getting the bars to set. I think I might have overbaked them.

These bars were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I wasn't sure how I would like the orange buttercream frosting, but it was actually really good. It's not too sweet and it pairs well with the cinnamon fig filling.
