Ingredients
  • 1 package (1 pound) of phyllo dough
  • 2 cups walnuts, finely chopped
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
  1. 1Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. 2In a mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped walnuts, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
  3. 3Unroll the phyllo dough and cover it with a damp cloth to prevent drying out. Take one sheet of phyllo dough and place it in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  4. 4Brush the phyllo with melted butter. Repeat this process, layering 8 sheets and brushing each with butter.
  5. 5Spread a layer of the walnut mixture over the phyllo dough, about 1/4 of the mixture.
  6. 6Layer 4 more buttered phyllo sheets over the walnut filling. Repeat the layering process, adding walnuts and phyllo until all the filling is used, finishing with 8 layers of phyllo on top.
  7. 7Using a sharp knife, cut the baklava into diamond-shaped pieces.
  8. 8Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
  9. 9While the baklava is baking, prepare the honey syrup. In a saucepan, combine the sugar, honey, water, and vanilla extract. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  10. 10Once the baklava is done baking, remove it from the oven and immediately pour the cooled honey syrup evenly over the hot baklava.
  11. 11Let the baklava cool completely before serving, allowing it to soak up the syrup.
