How to Make Apple Cobbler With Poached Dried Figs

1. In a non-reactive saucepan, combine 1 cup dried figs, 1/2 cup red wine, and 4 teaspoons honey.
2. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, for 15-20 minutes, or until figs are plump and soft and the wine is mostly absorbed or evaporated.
3. Set aside to cool slightly.
4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
5. Peel, core, and slice 6 medium apples into a large bowl.
6. Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, and 3 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small pieces.
7. Gently toss to combine, then add the cooled poached figs and any remaining poaching liquid.
8. Stir to incorporate.
9. Butter an 8x11 inch baking dish and pour the apple and fig mixture into it.
10. Smooth the top evenly.
11. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes, or until apples are tender but still hold their shape.
12. While the cobbler bakes, prepare the topping: In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 6 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small pieces.
13. Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
14. Stir in 1/2 cup granola or rolled oats.
15. Remove the cobbler from the oven, remove the foil, and sprinkle the topping evenly over the fruit filling.
16. Return to the oven and bake, uncovered, for another 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
