    ¼ cup boiling water
    ¼ cup thick, chunky applesauce or apple butter

    1 tsp cinnamon
    2 tbsp ground hazelnuts

Directions

Cut the figs in small pieces and pour the water over them.
Add the applesauce and cinnamon, stir and allow this to set for a while so the figs can become a pasty mass. Stir in the hazelnuts.
Cut the manicotti shells in half cross-wise.
Place a small amount of the fig mass inside each tube half.
