Ingredients

 * 1 cup brown sugar
 * 1 cup butter
 * 1/2 tsp salt

 * 1 3/4 cup flour
 * 1/2 tsp vanilla
 * 1 cup sugar
 * 8 oz dried figs

Cream sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add oats, salt, vanilla and flour, mix until blended. For filling (last 4 ingredients): Combine sugar, California FIGS and water. Cook over medium heat 15 minutes, or until creamy, stirring frequently. Line a well-greased shallow pan (8 X 12-inch) with half the flour mixture. Add the filling, and sprinkle remaining flour mixture on top as evenly as possible. Bake in 350 °F. Oven 30-35 minutes or until lightly brown. Cool and serve.
