Directions
Stir figs, liqueur, lemon juice, and cinnamon together in small saucepan. Heat to boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes, until liquid has evaporated. Set aside to cool.
Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll phyllo dough and cover with a damp cloth.
Place one sheet of dough on a lightly floured board and brush lightly with melted butter. Fold in half to form a square and brush again with butter.
Place a rounded tablespoon of fig mixture diagonally across center of each square. Crumble and sprinkle 1 teaspoon of almond paste over figs along with a few slivered almonds. Fold one corner over filling, then fold in sides; roll tightly from folded corner.
Arrange on the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough, butter and filling to make 10 pastries.
Bake at 400°F for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
