    Fig Newtons (Gluten-Free)

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    This recipe comes to us from Susan Carmack.

    Fig Spread Ingredients:
    1 pack of cut up dried figs
    1 cup water

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
    Fig Spread Directions:
    Soak overnight and/or simmer until soft and process until smooth.

    Cookie Dough Ingredients:
    1 cup of tallow or butter
    1/3 cup honey
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    ½ teaspoon baking soda
    1 ½ cups rice flour
    2 teaspoons guar gum
    ½ teaspoon salt
    freshly ground nutmeg (optional)

    Cookie Dough Directions:
    Preheat oven to 350F and combine cookie dough ingredients in food processor until they form a ball, then roll out half of the dough (or press) into a pie pan or cake pan for the bottom layer. Next spread the fig filling on the layer and roll out the rest of the dough for top of the crust between two pieces of gluten-free floured wax paper for easy handling. Flip on top of fig filling and bake for about 12-15 minutes until light brown.

    Needed a bit more baking at 350F, I'd say about 10 minutes more.

    I added some dried mango to the figs and then a little blackberry jam and honey to the filling after it had simmered. (It therefore becomes a 'fruit newton' I suppose)

     

    I would recommend cutting the pie into bars as soon as the crust is cool enough to hold together, then inverting the bars and letting them cool completely. This prevents the bottom crust from getting soggy/doughy as it cools.

     

    Very yummy and filling.

    Scott Adams was diagnosed with celiac disease in 1994, and, due to the nearly total lack of information available at that time, was forced to become an expert on the disease in order to recover. In 1995 he launched the site that later became Celiac.com to help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives.  He is co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of the (formerly paper) newsletter Journal of Gluten Sensitivity. In 1998 he founded The Gluten-Free Mall which he sold in 2014. Celiac.com does not sell any products, and is 100% advertiser supported.

    Preheat oven to 350.
    In a bowl mix:
    2 ¼ cups tapioca flour
    1 tsp. salt
    1/3 cup sugar
    ½ tsp. xanthan gum (omit for pie crust)
    In a blender or food processor mix:
    1 cup Filberts/Macadamias
    ¼ cup water
    ½ cup canola oil
    1 tsp. vanilla
    Grind the nuts very fine. Add contents of food processor to bowl and mix. Roll into balls and flatten. Bake on greased cookie sheet at 350 for 10 - 15 minutes, or until they begin to turn golden-brown. The recipe makes 2 ½ dozen cookies.
    This dough rolls out on a potato-starch-floured board quite successfully to make cookie-cutter cookies. It also makes an excellent pie crust - flaky and delicious. Cover the edges with foil and pre-bake for 15 minutes before filling.
