Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- 2/3 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 16 ounces phyllo dough thawed
- 1 cup butter melted, unsalted
- 16 ounces walnuts finely chopped
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine sugar, water, honey, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, then simmer for about 10 minutes until slightly thickened. Set aside to cool.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush a 9x13 inch baking pan with melted butter. Place a sheet of phyllo in the pan, brush with butter, and repeat for 8 layers.
- Mix chopped walnuts and cinnamon, and spread a layer over the phyllo. Continue layering phyllo and nuts, ending with 8 layers of phyllo on top.
- Cut the layered phyllo into diamond shapes. Bake for about 50 to 60 minutes until golden and crisp.
- Remove from oven and immediately pour the cooled syrup over the hot baklava. Allow to cool completely before serving.
