Equipment

  • large rimmed baking sheet

Ingredients

  • 1 15 count package of phyllo cups found in freezer section/grocery store
  • 1/2 cup pistachios
  • 1/4 cup pecans
  • 1/4 cup almonds
  • 1 whole lemon zest ONLY
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon butter melted
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon hot tap water

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°. Place the phyllo cups on a parchment paper lined baking sheet then set aside.
  • Finely chop the nuts by hand or pulse in the food processor (you want a ‘rustic chop’ – not completely ground) then transfer the nuts to a medium size bowl.
  • Stir in the lemon zest, sugar, cinnamon, melted butter, a small pinch of salt and the vanilla then set aside.
  • In a small bowl, blend the honey and hot tap water. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the honey-water then pour the remaining over the nuts and stir to combine well.
  • Fill the phyllo cups with about 1 tablespoon of the nut mixture each dividing it equally then bake for 8-10 minutes or until the nuts are lightly toasted.
  • Remove the Baklava Cups from the oven then drizzle the reserved honey over the top of the cups. Cool completely then store in an airtight container.
