Description

Ingredients

• 2 cups walnuts
• 1 cup pecans
• ⅓ cup packed brown sugar
• 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 large apple, peeled and chopped into ¼ inch cubes
• 1 roll frozen phyllo dough, thawed
• 1½ sticks butter melted
• 1 cup sugar
• ⅓ cup honey
• 1 cinnamon stick
• ½ cup apple cider
• Dash ground ginger
• Dash ground cloves
• Dash ground nutmeg

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 F. Spread the nuts out on a cookie sheet and bake until toasted and fragrent. About 5-8 minutes.
• Place nuts in food processor and pulse with brown sugar and cinnamon until texture is medium-fine. Set aside.
• Lay out your thawed phyllo dough on the counter and lay a damp tea towel on top. This will prevent the dough from drying out. Every time you pull off the layers you need just place the damp towel over the rest.
• Butter a 9x13 pan with melted butter and a pastry brush. Use this for every layer of dough.
• Set two sheets into the pan.
• Butter the top.
• Place two more sheets of dough in the pan.
• Butter the top.
• Again place two more sheets in the pan. This will make 6 sheets in the pan. Butter the top.
• Sprinkle ⅓ of the nut mixture on top with the apples.
• Place two sheets of dough on top and butter.
• Repeat the process until you run out of walnuts. I added apples to two layers of nuts and had 3 layers of nuts total. Make sure you have at least 4-6 sheets of dough as your final top layer.
• Using a sharp knife, slice the baklava in a diagonal pattern. Butter the top
• Bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown.
• In a small saucepan, combine all ingredients and bring to a boil. Simmer until its reduced to half. Reduce heat to low.
• When baklava is done baking, pour half the syrup mixture over entire Baklava. After a few minutes pour some more until its fully absorbed. Reserve the rest for serving.
