1. 1

   Place the figs in a food processor and pulse until they are in small pieces. Then add the lemon juice and vanilla extract and process until you have a smooth paste. Taste and add more lemon or vanilla if desired.In a large bowl, mix the almond flour with the salt, then add the agave syrup, vanilla extract and coconut oil. Knead the dough until smooth, wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest in the fridge for about an hour. Meanwhile preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F).Divide the dough into about 3 equal portions. On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, roll out one portion at a time into a rectangle about 1–2 cm thick. Spread the fig mixture lengthwise over one half of the dough.Fold the other half of the dough over the filled side (left over right). Essentially you’re folding the dough in half. Press the seams well all around so no fig filling can escape.Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 10–15 minutes until the Newtons are nicely golden brown.
