Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces phyllo dough shells
- 0.5 cups walnuts
- 0.25 cups pistachios
- 0.25 cups almonds
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 cups honey
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoons powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Arrange the phyllo dough shells on a baking tray and set aside.
Finely chop the walnuts, pistachios, and almonds, or pulse them in a food processor until coarsely ground but not powdered.
In a medium bowl, mix the chopped nuts with ground cinnamon to evenly combine.
Melt the butter and lightly brush the inside of each phyllo shell with a small amount.
Spoon the nut mixture evenly into each shell, filling them generously.
Bake the filled shells in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, until the shells are golden and crisp.
While the shells are baking, warm the honey in a small saucepan over low heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Remove the baklava cups from the oven and immediately drizzle each one with the warmed honey mixture.
Allow the baklava cups to cool slightly, then dust them with powdered sugar before serving.
