1 cup
Honey

Butter
3 tablespoons, melted
Cinnamon
1 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

  5. In another bowl, mix the chopped walnuts, oats, melted butter, and cinnamon until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Sprinkle the walnut crumble evenly over the stuffed figs, ensuring each fig is well-covered.
  7. Arrange the stuffed figs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the figs are tender and the crumble is golden brown.
