Time 50m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup almonds
1/2 cup walnuts
1/4 cup chopped dried apricot
1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup butter, melted, divided
3 tablespoons honey
12 sheets phyllo dough

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the almonds, walnuts, apricots, bread crumbs, sugar, cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt in a food processor. Run the machine until the mixture is very finely chopped. Transfer the mixture to a small bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of the melted butter and the honey and stir to combine.
  • On a dry work surface place 1 sheet of phyllo. Using a pastry brush and the remaining melted butter, lightly cover the entire sheet of phyllo with melted butter. Cover the first sheet with a second sheet of phyllo and brush with melted butter. Continue until there is a stack of 6 sheets of phyllo. Cut the stacked phyllo rectangle into 12 equal pieces (Cut lengthwise into 4 pieces and widthwise into 3 pieces.)
  • Gently press each cut piece of phyllo into the mini-muffin tin cups. Press 1 tablespoon of the nut mixture into each of the phyllo cups. Gather the ends of each of the phyllo squares and twist to make a sachet shape. Continue shaping the remaining sachets in the other mini-muffin tin. Bake until the edges of the phyllo are golden, about 20 to 25 minutes. When cool enough to handle, remove the baklava sachets and transfer to a serving plate.

This recipe is terrible! The instructions are unclear and the baklava turned out a mess.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my baklava didn't turn out well. The phyllo dough was too thick and the filling was too dry.

This baklava was not what I expected. It was very dense and chewy. I think I would prefer a baklava with a more flaky crust.

The baklava was good, but it was a bit dry. I think I would add more butter or oil next time.

This baklava was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

This baklava recipe is a keeper! The phyllo dough was crispy and flaky, and the filling was perfectly sweet and nutty. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly.
