- 2 unbaked pie crusts
- 2 1⁄2 lbs fresh figs, stemmed and quartered
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

- 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1⁄2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon butter, at room temperature
directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F

- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until filling is bubbly and crust is golden.
- Cool on rack and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
