How To Make Pioneer Woman Rustic Fig Tartlets

1. Make the dough: Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Cut in butter until crumbly. Add ice water gradually until dough forms. Shape into a disk, wrap, and chill for 30 minutes.
2. Preheat oven: Set to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Mix the filling: Toss sliced figs with honey, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Let sit for 5–10 minutes.
4. Assemble tartlets: Roll dough to 1/8-inch thick and cut into 4–5-inch rounds. Place on baking sheet. Sprinkle almond flour in centers. Add fig mixture, leaving a 1-inch border.
5. Fold and finish: Fold edges over figs, pleating slightly. Brush crusts with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
6. Bake tartlets: Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden and bubbling.
7. Cool and drizzle: Drizzle with honey and let cool slightly before serving.

• How do I keep the crust from getting soggy? Almond flour helps absorb moisture and keeps the bottom crisp.

• How to make tartlets look rustic? Don’t worry about perfect folds—the uneven edges add charm.
