Have you looked at https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/100687-how-do-i-extract-data-from-matlab-figures? It may be easier to extract the data from the figure to a mat file and then load and plot that data on the UI axes of your app. I'm assuming that you want the figure to appear within the App and not as a separate window...

Here's a functional demo.
% Create a figure, save it, and close it.
mainFig = figure();
plot(magic(4),'-o')
savefig('MainFigure.fig') % use full path whenever possible; see fullfile()
close(mainFig)
% 1) Create a UIFigure and UIAxes (For app designer, skip this step)
% 2) Open the main figure in an invisible state.
% 3) Get the axis handle of the figure.
% 4) Copy all children of the axis handle to the UIAxes.
% 5) Close the invisible main figure.
% 1) Create UIAxes; Skip this step if you're using app designer.
app.UIFigure = uifigure();
app.UIAxes = uiaxes(app.UIFigure);
% 2) OPen the main figure, invisible.
figHandle = openfig('MainFigure.fig','invisible') % use full path whenever possible; see fullfile()
% 3) Get all axis handles that belong to the invisible figure
axesHandle = findobj(figHandle,'type','axes');
%4) Copy all children of the axis to your UIFigure.
% If there are more then 1 axes found on the invisible
% figure, this will only copy the first axes listed.
% Replace input #2 with your UIAxes handle
copyobj(axesHandle(1).Children, app.UIAxes);
% Close the invisible figure
close(figHandle)
To delete the demo figure from you system,
delete('MainFigure.fig')
