2 sheets refrigerated pie crust
12 dried figs
1/4 cup bourbon
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon maple syrup, divided
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup (about 5 ounces) mascarpone cheese
1 large egg
1 tablespoon water

Spread nuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment; freeze until set, about 10 minutes., Unroll pie crusts. Using a 4-in. round cutter, cut 12 circles, rolling and cutting scraps as necessary. Stir vanilla and remaining 1 Tbsp. maple syrup into mascarpone cheese. Spread scant 1 tablespoon mascarpone mixture over half of each circle to within 1/4 in. of edge; layer with 2 teaspoons maple walnuts and 4 fig pieces. Make an egg wash by whisking egg and water; use to moisten edge of crust. Fold crust over filling; press edges with a fork to seal. Repeat with remaining crust and filling. Brush egg wash over pies. Freeze pies on a parchment-lined baking sheet 10 minutes., Remove from baking sheet. Grill pies, covered, on a well-greased grill rack over medium direct heat until golden brown, 5-7 minutes per side.

I had a hard time finding phyllo dough, but I eventually found it at a specialty grocery store. The pies were worth the effort, though. They were delicious!

These pies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try them again with less honey next time.

I'm not a huge fan of figs, but I loved these pies. The goat cheese and honey really balanced out the sweetness of the figs.

These pies are a great way to use up ripe figs. The goat cheese and honey add a nice touch of richness and sweetness.
