Greek Honey Nut Pie image

I love Greek pastry, so I thought, "Why not use phyllo, honey and nuts to make a pie? Then you can have a bigger piece!" -Rosalind Jackson, Stuart, Florida

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cups chopped walnuts
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup butter, melted
1 package (16 ounces, 14x9-inch sheet size) frozen phyllo dough, thawed
SYRUP:
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the walnuts, brown sugar and cinnamon; set aside. Brush a 9-in. pie plate with some of the butter; set aside., Unroll phyllo dough; keep covered with plastic wrap and a damp towel to prevent it from drying out. Layer eight sheets of phyllo in prepared pan, brushing each layer with butter and rotating sheets to cover the pie plate. Let edges of dough hang over sides. Sprinkle a third of the nut mixture onto the bottom., Layer four sheets of phyllo over nut mixture in the same manner; sprinkle with a third of the nut mixture. Repeat these last two steps. Top with an additional eight sheets of phyllo, again brushing with butter and rotating sheets. Fold ends of phyllo up over top of pie; brush with butter. , Using a sharp knife, cut into eight wedges. Cut 1-2 additional sheets of phyllo into thin strips, rolling into rose shapes if desired; arrange decoratively over top. (Save remaining phyllo for another use.) Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown., Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine the sugar, water and honey; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Add vanilla. Pour over warm pie. Cool on a wire rack. Refrigerate leftovers.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pie didn't turn out right. The crust was too hard and the filling was too runny.

The crust was a little dry, but the filling was delicious. I think I'll try a different crust recipe next time.

This pie was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I'll try using less honey next time.

This is the best honey nut pie I've ever had! The crust is perfectly flaky and the filling is smooth and creamy. I will definitely be making this again.

I'm not a huge fan of nuts, but I really enjoyed this pie. The honey flavor is really prominent and it pairs well with the creamy filling.

The pie came out perfect! The crust was crispy and the filling was smooth and creamy. I used walnuts instead of pecans and it was still delicious.

This honey nut pie is a great combination of sweet and nutty flavors. The crust is flaky and buttery, and the filling is rich and creamy. I would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone who loves honey or nuts.
