Easy Homemade Baklava

Want a sweet, flaky dessert with a delicious honey-nut filling? Homemade baklava is easier to make than you might think!

Ingredients

1 package phyllo dough, 2 cups chopped walnuts or pistachios, 1 cup melted butter, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup honey, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Mix the chopped nuts with cinnamon. Brush a baking dish with melted butter and layer several sheets of phyllo dough, brushing each sheet with butter. Add a layer of the nut mixture, then repeat the layers until everything is used, finishing with phyllo dough. Cut into diamond-shaped pieces before baking.

Bake for 40–45 minutes until golden and crispy. Meanwhile, heat the sugar, water, honey, and vanilla in a saucepan until the sugar dissolves. Pour the warm syrup over the hot baklava. Let it cool and soak up the sweetness before serving.

A crunchy, buttery dessert with the perfect honey finish!
