1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 pkg (454g) phyllo pastry sheets, thawed
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 jar (500g) liquid honey
3/4 cup water

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish or pan. Cut phyllo shets in half crosswise to fit in pan. Cover phllo ith a lightly dampened tea towel to prevent drying out. 2. Continue trail mix, dried fruits, sugar and cinnamon in a food processor. Finely chop, st aside. 3. Gently lay a piece of phyllo pastry in pan and brush with melted butter. Repeat with 7 more sheets of phyllo, brushing each sheet with butter. 4. Sprinkle a thin layer of nut and fruit mixture of phyllo pastry, brushing each sheet with butter. Repeat this step of sprinkling the nut mixture, then 2 sheets of buttered phyllo pastry, until all the nut mixture is used. 5. Top with the final 8 individually buttered phyllo sheets. With the sharp knife, cut into 40 equal squares. Bake until edges are crisp and top is golden brown, 30 to 35 min. 6. In small saucepan, combine honey and water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer gently for 7 min. or until slightly thickened. Let cool. Spoon cooled syrup over hot baklava and let cool for at least 4 hours.
