Ingredients

• 12 sheets Phyllo dough sheets
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup Walnuts, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup Pistachios, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cloves
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 0.25 cup Water
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a mini muffin tin by lightly greasing it with melted butter.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine the chopped walnuts, chopped pistachios, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground cloves. Mix well and set aside.

Step 3

Carefully unroll the phyllo dough sheets and cover them with a damp kitchen towel to prevent them from drying out.

Step 4

Working with one phyllo sheet at a time, brush it lightly with melted butter. Fold the sheet in half and brush again with butter.

Step 5

Cut the buttered sheet into squares roughly 2.5 inches wide. Gently press each square into a mini muffin tin cavity to form a small cup shape.

Step 6

Repeat this process with additional phyllo sheets until all cavities are filled.

Step 7

Spoon a small amount of the nut mixture into each phyllo cup, filling them about three-quarters full.

Step 8

Bake the phyllo cups in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden and crisp.

Step 9

While the baklava bites are baking, prepare the honey syrup. In a small saucepan, combine the honey, water, and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 10

Once the baklava bites come out of the oven, immediately spoon a small amount of the warm honey syrup into each cup. Allow the bites to cool and absorb the syrup.

Step 11

Serve at room temperature and enjoy!
