Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar; 3 tablespoons cornstarch; 2 quarts very ripe figs (2 1/2 lb.), stems trimmed, rinsed, and cut in half lengthwise; 1 cup red or black raspberries, rinsed; 1/2 cup cream cheese (4 oz.), at room temperature; 1/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 1 cup maple- or vanilla-flavored granola; 1/2 cup chopped walnuts; 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (see notes); 3 tablespoons honey; 1 teaspoon chopped fresh lavender buds; 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Servings: persons

1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 quarts very ripe figs (2 1/2 lb.), stems trimmed, rinsed, and cut in half lengthwise
1 cup red or black raspberries, rinsed
1/2 cup cream cheese (4 oz.), at room temperature
1/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup maple- or vanilla-flavored granola
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (see notes)
3 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon chopped fresh lavender buds
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1
Preheat oven to 375u00b0 (convection oven not recommended). In a large bowl, mix 1/4 cup brown sugar and the cornstarch. Gently mix in the figs and raspberries. Taste and, if needed, stir in up to 4 more tablespoons brown sugar. Pour into a shallow 2-quart baking dish.
2
In another bowl, with a wooden spoon, mix 1 cup brown sugar, cream cheese, butter, and salt until well blended. Stir in granola and walnuts just to blend. Distribute topping over fig mixture, allowing some fruit to remain bare.
3
Bake until top is browned and juices are bubbling near center, 40 to 45 minutes. (If topping is brown before juices bubble, cover crisp lightly with foil.) Let cool on a rack at least 15 minutes.
4
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix sour cream, honey, lavender buds, and vanilla. Cover and chill.
5
Spoon warm or cool crisp into bowls and top each serving with a generous dollop of lavender-honey sour cream.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
