Ingredients
  

Fill­ing

  • 3 Kadota figs sliced into 4 seg­ments and fur­ther sliced in half
  • 3 pears peeled and sliced into 1 inch cubes
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • pinch of cinnamon
  • about 125g brie cheese sliced, or to taste

Dough

  • 2 cups all-​purpose flour
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • 1 tsp bak­ing powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 6 tbsp cold unsalted but­ter cubed
  • 1 egg + 1 egg white
  • Pow­dered sugar for dusting

Instructions
 

  • Pre­heat the oven to 375F and but­ter a medium cookie sheet.
  • Pre­pare the fruit and place in a bowl with the brown sugar and cin­na­mon. Mix with your hands to com­bine. Set aside.
  • In a sec­ond bowl, pre­pare the dough: mix the flour, sugar, bak­ing pow­der and salt, and stir well to com­bine. Add the cold but­ter and rub into the flour mix­ture with your fin­gers until the con­sis­tency is sandy. Add the eggs and com­bine until a dough forms.
  • On a lightly floured sur­face, knead the dough a few times to form a soft ball. Using a rolling pin, flat­ten into a 13 inch cir­cle, dust­ing with flour if needed so it doesn’t stick. Trans­fer the flat­tened dough on to the cookie sheet.
  • Place the fruit mix­ture in the mid­dle, leav­ing about 2 inches from the edge of the dough. Top with the brie cheese. Fold over the dough, lightly press­ing in the creases.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 35 – 40 mins, until the crust is browned and the fill­ing bub­bly. Cut into wedges and serve warm, dusted with pow­dered sugar.
