Calories: 1390kcal
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground cardamon
- 1 lb apples peeled, cored, cut into 1/4" slices
- 1 cup Orchard Choice or Sun-Maid California Figs stemmed and cut lengthwise
- 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 cup pecans chopped
- 1 cup whipped cream lightly sweetened
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a mini casserole dish or 8x8 pan with cooking spray.
- Brown the butter in a skillet set over medium heat, whisking and keeping a quick eye on the butter to ensure it doesn't burn, and sniffing occasionally until the butter smells nutty and begins to take on a light brown color. Once the butter's browned, stir in the cinnamon and cardamom, toasting the spices for 1 minute. Remove from the heat.
- Add figs and apples to brown butter mixture. Sprinkle with brown sugar and salt. Toss to coat. Tumble the fruit into the prepared dish.
- Bake for about 50 minutes or until fork tender, gently turning the fruit with a wooden spoon 2 times during the cooking period to redistribute the fruit. Meanwhile, toast the pecans.
- Spoon the baked apple slices and sauce into a small bowl. Dollop whipped cream and scatter on pecans right before serving.
