Favorite Fig Bar Tarts
Here’s what to do with that leftover pie dough

About the Recipe: Loving fig bars, I always wondered how to make that fig bar texture. I had leftover pie dough and decided to place it into a 4-1/2-inch replaceable bottom tart pan. Quite by accident, I gathered up my fig spread and chopped nuts, mixed them together, spread the filling into the mini crust; popped them into the oven for 15 minutes, and there it was, a fig bar flavored tart. What a happy surprise!
