Fresh figs and pecan pie

This year our little fig tree surprised us a lot. It was full of fruit several times a season. Our little baby loved to eat them, from a branch, every time she was barely limping around it. And a few desserts were made too. The first fig pie was made, inspired by the best apple pie ever, my mom’s apple pie!
