Tip
The experience of this topping depends highly on the figs. So, when you are shopping for figs, go for the plump ones with a deep purple colour. Make sure to pick ripe ones that feel a bit soft when you touch them, as they will bring more sweetness and flavour. Create a different sensory experience by cutting the apple differently, for example, in chunks or small dice. You can also opt for a softer mouthfeel with grated apple. In this case, you might want to add, for example, chopped hazelnuts or coconut flakes to maintain some crunch.
