Serves 2 to 4

Difficulty Easy

Ingredients

10 figs
1 T ground mixed spice
2 T maple syrup
1 sheet Woolworths frozen all-butter puff pastry

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Caramelise the figs, mixed spice and maple syrup in a 20 cm cast-iron pan over a medium heat for 5 minutes.

Cover with the pastry, tuck in any excess, and bake for 20 minutes or until golden.

Carefully invert onto a serving plate.

Cook's note: I'm always amazed that such a short list of ingredients results in something that's so impressive to look at and substantial to eat!
