Equipment

  • 9x13 baking dish

Ingredients
  

For the streusel topping

  • 1+1/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 8 tbsp butter, melted and cooled

For the fig filling

  • 30-40 figs, halved
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp lemon or orange zest
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 2 tbsp corn starch

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350.
  • In a large bowl, mix together 1+1/4 cups flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/3 white sugar, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp nutmeg and 1/2 tsp ginger.
  • Drizzle the cooled melted butter over the mixture and use a fork to toss together until it begins to form clumps. Don't mix too much; you want it to be clumpy, not to turn into a paste.
  • In a sperate bowl, toss the halved figs with 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 2 tbsp flour and 1 tbsp corn starch.
  • Spread the figs in an even layer in the baking dish. Sprinkle with the crumble and bake until the filling is thickened and gooey and the crumble is lightly browned, about 45 minutes.
  • Let the crumble cool and serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
