Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Cook the dried figs over medium heat, covered, for about 35-40 minutes.
Step 2
When the figs become soft and absorb most of the liquid, place them in a food processor and puree with the whiskey and vanilla.
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 345°F (350 degrees Fahrenheit) and toast the nuts for 8-10 minutes. Once cooled, roughly chop the nuts.
Step 4
Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg together.
Step 5
Using a mixer on high speed, beat together the sugar, oil, and eggs until creamy (about 3 minutes).
Step 6
Add the fig puree to the egg mixture and mix on low speed until combined. Then, while the mixer is still running, gradually add the flour mixture and continue mixing until a dough forms.
Step 7
Fold the chopped nuts into the dough, mix well, pour into a baking dish, and bake for about 1 hour 15 minutes.
Step 8
Allow the pie to cool in the pan. Then, use a thin knife to separate the pie from the sides, cover with a plate, flip it over, gently remove from the pan, and flip it again onto a second plate.
