Zesty Fig Pie Recipe

	Chefmeow / All my dishes 1 year, 5 months ago This is an incredible pie that comes from my mother-in-laws collection. She is one of the best bakers I have ever met. She grew her own figs, blackberries, strawberries and always made the most incredible cakes and pies. Enjoy Prep:10m Cook:30m Servings:8	Chefmeow
