3. Place all ingredients including the Calvados into the pan, except the figs, by following your manufacturers’ instructions regarding the order of liquid/dry ingredients.
4. Place the figs in the nut/raisin dispenser (if available) and set your machine to the basic/normal raisin setting, medium loaf, light crust. If you do not have a nut/raisin dispenser when the machine indicates (with a beeping sound), add the figs and close the lid.
