Ingredients




5 cooking apples (Granny Smith)
1 figs, 2 types: Black Mission and Calimyrna
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon cardamom
1 cup flour
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup pistachios
1/4 cup pecan morsels

Preparation

1 Heat oven to 350. Lightly grease pie plate or shallow casserole. 2 Peal and core apples. I highly recommend a melon baller for the job. Chop the apples into small wedges. 3 Cut figs into small circles and discard stems. 4 Mix apples, figs, cinnamon, and cardamom in saucepan on medium heat with 2 tbs of water. Blanche fruit for 3 minutes, so that apples are not fully cooked. 5 In a food processor, mix flour, butter, sugar, pistachios and pecans. Pulse until the mixture is crumbly. 6 Place fruit in baking dish, then crumble the pastry mix over it. Optionally, keep small morsels of pistachio and pecans to garnish on top. 7 Bake for approx 40 minutes or until golden crust and juices bubble. 8 Serve warm and either alone, with vanilla ice cream or custard, or with a pomegranate sauce (mixture of pomegranate molasses and sugar).
