For the Filling:
Peel the apricots. Bring a pot of water to a full rolling boil. Place the apricots in the boiling water for 30 - 40 seconds. If your apricots are ripe their peel should slide right off.
Once the peel has been removed, remove the pit and dice the apricots. In a small pan, heat the apricots and 2 tablespoons of honey. Heat through until the apricots break down. About 5 minutes. In a food processor blend the figs, apricots, juice of 1/2 of an orange and 1 tablespoon honey.
Dough:
The next day after soaking, stir in the maple syrup, butter and orange zest. Place in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
