Full Recipe ➡️
➡️INGREDIENTS
For the Filling
✔️16 fresh figs washed, dried, and quartered
✔️1/2 cup brown sugar packed
✔️1 tbsp orange zest
✔️1/4 tsp coarse salt
✔️1 tsp vanilla
For the Cookie Crust
✔️1 1/4 cups almond flour finely ground
✔️3/4 cup tapioca flour
✔️1 tbsp tapioca flour
✔️1 tsp baking powder
✔️1/2 tsp salt
✔️3/4 cup butter at room temperature (12 tablespoons)
✔️1 1/2 cups brown sugar
✔️1 tbsp orange zest
✔️2 eggs
✔️4 tsp vanilla
➡️METHOD
For the Filling
✔️In a medium-sized heavy-bottomed saucepan, add figs, 1/2 cup brown sugar, orange zest, and 1 teaspoon vanilla to a low boil, stirring as needed.✔️Reduce the heat and simmer for 40-50 minutes, occassionally smashing the larger pieces with the back of a fork and stirring. ✔️The fig mixture will cook down and thicken with a jam-like consistency.✔️Remove the filling from the heat and cool completely.
For the Cookie
✔️Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F✔️Butter a 9 x 13 baking dish, then line with parchment paper or foil. Butter the top of the parchment paper or foil. This will allow for easy removal.✔️In a medium-sized bowl, whisk togehter the flours, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.✔️Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and 1 1/2 cups brown sugar until fluffy.✔️Add the orange zest and eggs. Beat on medium until the dough comes together. Then stir in the vanilla
✔️Slowly add the flour mixture while the mixer is running on low. The dough will be sticky.✔️Butter two pieces of parchment paper that are larger than your baking dish, measure 1 1/2 cups of the dough out, and roll or press the dough in between the pieces. This will be your top crust, so get it into a rectangle shape if you can. Put it in the freezer to set up.✔️Press the remaining dough into the prepared baking dish and bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.✔️Spread the fig filling across the baked crust and then get the top crust out of the freezer. Gently peel the parchment paper away from the cold cookie crust and then place it over the top of the fig filling.✔️Bake for another 20 - 25 minutes or until the top crust is a nice golden color.✔️Let the whole thing cool completely in the pan, on a wire rack.✔️Once cooled, lift the parchment out of the pan and slice into squares
➡️Recipe Notes
✔️The fig filling can be made ahead and stored in the refridgerator for up to 3 days.

Fig Newtons | Gluten Free | Step by Step
Wanda shows you how to use our canned figs to make a delicious gluten free fig newton. Recipe below:
Fig Newtons -Gluten Free
Fruit Filling
Dehydrate fruit by spreading out mashed figs on a cookie sheet. We use a quart of our canned figs, drained, mashed with no sugar added. If you have fresh, mash and they are ready. Add sugar or honey to taste, if you want. Bake 1 hour at 300 degrees and 30 minutes to an hour at 200 degrees. Keep a check because you do not want it brittle, just rubbery. You can also make fruit leather with a dehydrator. Let cool.
Pastry Crust
1 ½ cups Gluten Free flour ½ teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ cup softened butter 1/3 cup sugar 1 beaten egg
3 tablespoons milk (almond) ½ teaspoon vanilla
Mix egg, milk, vanilla together. Mix flour, sugar, butter, together.
Add both mixtures and get consistency of pie crust. With gluten free you will have a different texture. I used my hands to press it all together. Divide into 4 pieces. Gluten free pastry can’t be rolled out like regular crust. I took 2 pieces of wax paper, and rolled them out. Do not get them too thin. Roll them in long strips. Cut about 3 inch strip. Place a piece of fruit leather on one end and roll up pastry. Use about 1 tablespoon of fruit. Any fruit leather will work.
Bake 15 minutes at 350 degrees or until lightly brown. Do not overcook.
Cool and enjoy.
