Ingredients

• 4 cups Fresh figs
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1.5 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.33 cups Whole milk
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons Coarse sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Rinse the figs, remove any stems, and cut them into quarters. Place the figs into a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add granulated sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and ground cinnamon to the bowl with the figs. Gently toss until the figs are evenly coated, then transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and set aside.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 5

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 6

Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—it's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.

Step 7

Spoon the batter evenly over the fig mixture in the baking dish, leaving a few gaps for steam to escape.

Step 8

If desired, sprinkle coarse sugar over the top of the batter for a sweet and crunchy topping.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the cobbler topping is golden brown and the fig filling is bubbly.

Step 10

Allow the cobbler to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
