Ingredients

Prep and Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

2 small apples

1/4 tsp lemon juice

1 TBS apple juice

4 dried figs (or fresh when in season)

4 TBS chopped almonds

1/2 tsp lemon zest*

1/4 tsp cinnamon

pinch of cloves

pinch of allspice

2 tsp honey

Preparation

Directions:

  1. Cut apples into quarters. Cut out core and slice fruit into 1/4-inch thick slices. Turn apples and cut across slices for diced apples. In a mixing bowl, toss with lemon and apple juice.
  2. Cut the stem off of the figs. Cut figs into quarters and chop to produce pieces 1/4-inch or less. Add to the apples.
  3. Add the remaining ingredients and toss until well combined. For best nutrition, eat immediately. If you prefer it chilled, cover well and place in the refrigerator for up to 8 hours.

My Notes: Figs are very sweet and I think 4 might be too much for a 2 apple, 2 person dessert. Although that might depend on what kind of apple.

Also, I think the topping recipe is a handy one to have for any fruit you have on hand. And I think you should mix it separately, then sprinkle on the fruit. So, if you are baking the fruit go ahead and transfer the fruit to the baking dish, then make the topping in the bowl.
