Looking for a Fig Pie Recipe

[Bayou Woman]

Though I've never eaten one, I would like to know if anyone on here has eaten fig pie and would you have a good recipe for one? Thanks a bunch!

My cousin brought one to a family gathering. She had gotten the recipe off the internet. She has a huge fig tree in her back yard and is always looking for a new way to prepare them.
I have not yet made this recipe, only eaten hers but was very good.

FRESH FIG PIE
5 c. peeled figs, cut in half
1 tbsp. cornstarch
7 tbsp. sugar
Juice of 1/2 lemon
6 tbsp. butter
10 inch lattice-top pastry
1 tsp. cinnamon or apple spice
Select figs that are ripe and firm. Cut in half. Place figs in an unbaked 10 inch pastry shell.
Combine cornstarch, sugar and spice; sprinkle over figs. Add lemon juice and dot with butter.

Form lattice top with strips of pastry. Bake in a 425 degree oven for 30 to 40 minutes or until brown.
