Brooke (5) and Gwen (5) make Gwen’s Grandmother’s recipe for homemade, fresh figgy bars—or as you may know them, by the more popularly branded treat—Fig Newtons.
Recipe:
Old Fashioned Figgy Bars
Ingredients:
Filling:
8 ounces died figs
1 cup water
1 teaspoons vanilla extract
Crust:
1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
Directions:
1. Filling: cut stems off figs. Cut figs in half. Put figs and water in a medium sauce pan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 15-20 minutes or until water is absorbed and figs are tender. Cool slightly. Purée figs in a food processor; add vanilla.
2. Heat oven to 350° and grease a 9 x 13” baking pan or 12 cookie bar pan.
3. Crust: Mix flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt; set aside. Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer until fluffy and then add 1 egg, beat well. With mixer on low speed, add flour mixture. Gather dough into a ball. Place on a sheet of wax paper and roll flat. Wrap and refrigerate at least one hour or until chilled enough to roll out.
4.Divide dough in half. Place 1/2 on a piece of wax paper. Use a rolling pin, roll out to a 9 x 13” rectangle. Trim edges with a sharp knife. Trim into small squares for bar pan or one large rectangle if you’re going to cut into bars after. Invert dough into pan and peel off wax paper. Patch any tears by pressing deal with floured fingertips.
5. Spoon cooled fig mixture over dough and spread into a thin even layer with a small, flexible spatula. Roll out remaining dough on wax paper and repeat step four to cover bars with top layer.
6. Bake for 30 minutes at 350°F or until edges are golden. Cool on a wire rack before removing individual bars or cutting large rectangle.

FIG TARTS - the easiest fig recipe!
I never had fresh figs, growing up. They were just never a part of our dining repetoire. Fig Newtons - of course! But I had never eaten a fresh fig.
It wasn't until I was in my 20s, and happened to recieve figs as part of a CSA box, that I tried them for the first time.
CSA means community-supported agriculture, and a CSA box is a box filled with fruits and vegetables that they put together for their subscribers every week or so. A lot of the time, CSA boxes are comprised of whatever the farm happens to have that week - which means you can end up with a lot of produce you might not ordinarily purchase.
Not knowing what to do with figs when they showed up in my CSA box, I turned to the internet - and all the recipes I'd bookmarked from blog posts over the years.
And back then, this fig tart recipe from Sophisticated Gourmet caught my eye.
This time around, I was once again surprised by figs - but this time they came from my brother and sister-in-law's garden. A whole container of figs showed up at my door, with the instruction to eat them soon so they don't go bad!
I could eat them raw, but... I've got a YouTube channel! And I couldn't turn down the chance to make something with them!
This recipe is super, super simple.
You start with puff pastry. If you're fancy and just happen to have homemade puff pastry in the freezer, or want to make some for this, be my guest! But I'm using store-bought. Let it sit out at room temperature for about half an hour, but not much longer - just thaw it enough to unfold it.
Cut the puff pastry into squares - you could do four bigger squares, but I found cutting it into 9 smaller squares resulted in perfectly snack-sized tarts.
Next we're going to cut the figs. Make sure you wash your figs well - I've been told the sap from the trees can cause chemical burns, although I certainly haven't tested that theory myself. Then remove the stems and quarter them.
Sprinkle your puff pastry squares with a little sugar - if you have vanilla sugar, that would be lovely here.
Then arrange four fig quarters on each square.
Sprinkle the figs with a little brown sugar.
Then bake them at 400F for 15 minutes.
Serve with ice cream or whipped cream, and enjoy!
They're light, flaky, not too sweet, and such an easy way to take advantage of summer produce! You could easily switch these out for just about any type of fruit - berries, stone fruit, apples, bananas, even jackfruit would be great.
Fig tarts
slightly adapted from:
1 sheet store-bought puff pastry
1 tsp granulated sugar
9 ripe figs, quartered
1 tsp brown sugar
Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the pastry and cut into 9 squares, then place onto the lined cookie sheet.
Evenly sprinkle the top of each square with the granulated sugar, and top each square with a quartered fig.
Lightly sprinkle brown sugar over the figs.
Bake 15 minutes, until the pastry is puffed and golden brown. Let cool.
Serve with whipped cream or ice cream, if desired. Enjoy!

Oatmeal Fig Bars
For the Filling:
12 ounces dried Black Mission figs
½ cup water
½ cup orange juice
2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
2 tablespoons honey
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
½ teaspoon table salt
6 or 8 oz crystallized ginger
In a medium saucepan, simmer all ingredients for 10 minutes. Remove from heat; set aside to cool. Make crust.
Crust:
1/3 cup melted butter
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 and 2/3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving enough overhang on the sides to easily remove the bars when they have cooled. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter, maple syrup, brown sugar, and egg together. Add the oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Begin whisking to combine and once the mixture becomes too thick, switch to a spoon or rubber spatula to bring the ingredients together.
Take 1 cup of the crust/topping mixture and set aside. Press remaining oatmeal mixture evenly into the lined pan. Spread fig filling in an even layer on top. Spoon remaining crust/topping mixture evenly on top and gently press it down into the filling.
Bake for 30 minutes or until the top has lightly browned. Avoid over-baking. Remove from the oven and place the pan on a wire rack. Cool bars completely.
