Ingredients

  • 15 frozen phyllo mini cups
  • 1 cup walnuts
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1   tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter unsalted
For the Syrup:
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F
  2. Make the syrup.  Combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water in a medium sauce pan.  Bring to a simmer, stir until sugar is dissolved .  Reduce heat to low and simmer 10-15 minutes, until syrup is a light golden color.  Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice.  Set aside.
  3. Meanwhile, prepare the baklava cups.  Add the walnuts to a food processor and pulse until coarsely ground.  Add the cinnamon, nutmeg and 1 tablespoon of sugar, pulse a few times to combine.  Pour in the butter, pulse 2-3 more times to mix.  The walnuts should be about the same texture as breadcrumbs - not too finely ground.
  4. Place the phyllo cups in a mini muffin tin (you can also just put them on a cookie sheet if you don't have a mini muffin tin). Evenly divide the walnut filling between the phyllo cups.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden.  Remove from oven, and while they are still hot, spoon 1-2 teaspoons of the lemon syrup over each cup.

Notes

  • Best served right away, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container.
