Ingredients
FILLING
10 oz dried figs
juice of 1 lemon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
CRUST
1 1/2 cups almond flour
2 tablespoons coconut flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
Directions
Preheat oven to 325° and line a 8×8 pan with parchment paper.
Combine figs, lemon juice, salt, and cinnamon in a food processor or blender and process until smooth. It will be a thick mixture.
In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, salt, cinnamon, and applesauce. Stir until fully combined and no lumps remain. Divide in half and press half of the mixture into the prepared pan.
Top with fig mixture, spreading as evenly as possible.
Top with remaining almond mixture. The best way to do that is to take small pieces and flatten with your fingers. Place on top of fig mixture and repeat until all almond mixture is used. Press any holes closed once all is on top.
Bake for 30-32 minutes.
Cool and cut into squares.
