- Recipe for my favorite sweet pastry crust is here. It’s the only one I use now.
- About 14 ounces fresh figs, stems cut off and cut into quarters
- 1/4 cup sugar (you can get away with 1/3 cup. A lot of mine remained in the mixing bowl)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (I might have added another 1/8 teaspoon)
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 3 tablespoons fig jam (or can use apricot jam)
- Zest of one lemon
- One egg, beaten to glaze the crust
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
- To prepare the filling, combine the cinnamon, sugar, flour and lemon zest in a bowl large enough to accomodate the figs. Add the figs and toss carefully to coat them well.
- Lightly flour a piece of parchment paper and roll out the dough into a 12-inch round.
- Spread the fig jam on the dough leaving about a 3-inch border around.
- Arrange the figs starting from the center and working outward.
- Fold the border over the figs and glaze with beaten egg.
- Transfer the galette (keeping it on the parchment paper) onto a baking stone and bake for about 35 minutes.
- Let cool to room temperature before serving.

Hello jean – I am actually on a southwest flight right now at 40,000 feet and reading your post. Love this fig delight and you know how much I love figs. It looks and sounds divine! Thank you for the fig jam shout out! I actually made 60 jars this year and just wish that the season was not coming to a close shortly. Let’s get together soon. Say hello to hubby from me and my hubby!

Oh, gorgeous! I have yet to try my hand at a galette. Figs are just awesome. They look gorgeous and taste even better. 🙂 And yes, I will definitely trade you a slice of fig bread for a slice of fig galette! 🙂 Mmm…

I WISH I had a good steady source of Fresh Figs. I would make jam & so many other things. As for number of jars of jams, I lost track but I do know I put up 6 cases (12 jars/case) of Strawberry jam. And a couple cases of Apple Butter!

What a stunning fall treat! Thank you for sharing another delightful post with me. It warms my heart to visit…and it makes my stomach growl! I hope you are having a relaxing Sunday full of laughter and good food. I’m eating a bowl of soup and I’m thankful for these cooler days!

I love figs, just had to learn the hard way not to eat too many at once. lol. I love the simplicity of this recipe, it would make such a nice alternative to the usual Fall pie roundup. I think I like the word ,”Galette” too. 😉

This looks gorgeous and so yummy, Jean! I love figs, and I have to admit I don’t think to bake with them as much as I should. Your galette is so lovely!
