This Mediterranean desert is light and flaky, with a nutty flavor and just a hint of sweetness. Three types of nuts, buried in layers of dough, cinnamon, and sugar will delight all nut lovers. Try adding a drizzle of amber colored honey, or dusting with powdered sugar for unique variations.

Ingredients

servings:

1 package phyllo dough
100 grams pistachios
75 grams walnuts
75 grams almonds
4 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons orange blossom water
1 tablespoon cinnamon
50 grams butter (melted)
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon orange blossom water
1 cinnamon stick
butter (Additional, melted)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 180 Celsius.
Finely chop the pistachios, walnuts, and almonds and place into a bowl. Add the brown sugar, orange blossom water, cinnamon, and butter. Mix well and set aside.
Brush each sheet of filo dough with the additional butter and begin to layer into a pan. Repeat until half of the package of filo dough has been used. Layer with the nut mixture. Continue to layer the buttered filo dough until the entire package has been used.
Bake until golden, approximately 20 minutes.
Combine the water, honey, brown sugar, and orange blossom water in a saucepan. Add the cinnamon stick and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
POur the syrup over the baked baklava, reserving a small amount.
Place a few chopped pistachios on the top to decorate and drizzle with the remaining syrup.
