Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsalted butter and 1/3 cup sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium speed for about 3 minutes until well combined and fluffy.
2
Gradually add 1 cup of all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt. Mix on low speed just until the flour is incorporated; the mixture should remain crumbly with visible butter chunks.
3
Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure all flour is integrated. It’s important that the mixture stays crumbly, so avoid over-mixing.
4
Refrigerate the pastry mixture until you're ready to use it, allowing the flavors to meld and the butter to firm up.
5
In a separate large bowl, combine the prepared peaches and figs. Drizzle with fresh lime juice and gently toss to combine, ensuring the fruit is well-coated.
6
In a smaller bowl, mix together the 2 tablespoons of flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, and ground cinnamon. Stir well, then sprinkle this mixture over the fruit. Gently fold to coat the fruit without crushing it.
7
Transfer the fruit mixture to a lightly buttered 1.5 to 2-quart shallow baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
8
Evenly sprinkle the chilled crumb topping over the fruit mixture, ensuring it covers the surface completely.
9
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the fruit is bubbly.
10
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Dust with powdered sugar and enjoy warm, ideally paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
