Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Filling
3/4 cup finely chopped stemmed dried Calimyrna figs (about 5 ounces)
2 tablespoons brandy
2 tablespoons water
1 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
3 large eggs
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted, cooled
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups pecan halves, toasted
Flaky Pie Crust Dough
Cream
1 cup chilled whipping cream
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon brandy

Steps:

  • For filling:
  • Stir figs, brandy, and water in heavy small saucepan over low heat until liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes; cool. Mix brown sugar, corn syrup, and next 4 ingredients in medium bowl. Stir in pecans, then fig mixture.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 13-inch round. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter deep-dish glass pie dish. Fold edge of dough over, forming double edge, and crimp decoratively, pressing to top edge of dish. Pierce all over with fork. Freeze crust 15 minutes.
  • Line crust with foil; fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake until sides are set, about 12 minutes. Remove foil and beans. Bake until crust is pale golden, pressing with back of fork if crust bubbles, about 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F.
  • Spoon filling into warm crust. Bake until filling is puffed at edges and set in center, about 40 minutes. Let stand until cool, at least 1 hour. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.)
  • For cream:
  • Beat cream, sugar, and brandy in medium bowl. Whisk until peaks form. (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Cover; chill.) Serve pie with cream.

I've made this pie several times now and it's always a hit! The filling is so rich and flavorful, and the crust is flaky and golden brown. I love that I can use fresh or dried figs, depending on what I have on hand.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my family loved it. The crust was flaky and the filling was gooey. I would definitely make this pie again, but I would reduce the amount of sugar in the filling.

I'm not a huge fan of pecans, but this pie was still really good. The figs were sweet and juicy, and the crust was flaky and buttery. I would definitely make this pie again, but I might use walnuts instead of pecans next time.
