Apricot Fig Baskets.

Apricot Fig Baskets.

For twelve baskets. 

 Ingredients:

  • 2 cups apricots (dried or fresh chopped)
  • 3-5 tsp fig jam or preserves (no sugar added variety)
  • 1/2 cups organic stevia
  • 1 tablespoon spelt flour
  • One homemade pie crust (see my Apple pie recipe for a SUPER easy and perfect pie crust)
  • 1 tablespoon vegan butter
  • Pinch of light coconut sugar to top

Steps:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
  2. Prepare crust and roll out so that you are able to cut 8-12 squares that are 4 in x 4 in dimensions.
  3. Fold stevia and spelt flour together. 
  4. In a bowl combine your apricot and stevia/spelt mixture, forming a chunky cobbler filling consistency. 
  5. Lay out your 4×4 crust squares and spoon in filling allowing enough room to fold crust up into a “basket.” This might take one for trial and error so see the best amount. To fix edges of crust, wet your fingertips and gently press edges of crust at top together to seal. Do this slowly, not having too much water on your fingertips. 
  6. Bake until golden at 350.
  7. Gently butter top of basket, sprinkle with coconut sugar, ENOY. 

Theses are super easy and can be modified with your favorite fruit or veggie concoctions
