Ingredients

1/2 cup Sugar

1/2 cup Brown Sugar

1 tsp Cinnamon

1/2 tsp Cloves

1/2 tsp All Spice

1 tsp Nutmeg

1 lb Pecan/Walnut combination (approx 1/2lb each)

3 sticks Butter

1 lb Phyllo Dough

Syrup Sauce:

2/3 cup Honey (local is best)

1/3 cup Orange Juice

1/3 cup water

1/2 tsp Mexican Vanilla (or a cap of Adams Extract)

1 tsp Apple Pie Spice

Directions

Defrost Phyllo dough for 30 min if frozen.

put nuts, sugar and spices in a food processor until roughly ground.

melt butter

coat a 13x9x2 baking dish with some of the melted butter.

cut Phyllo sheets to fit the baking dish. keep Phyllo covered on the top and bottom of the stack with moist kitchen towels. it will dry out quickly.

brush EACH layer of Phyllo with butter (important!)

start with 6 layers of Phyllo at the bottom of the dish to form a solid base layer.

grab a handfull of the mixture and spread across the Phyllo.

add 2 more layers of dough, then some mix on top. repeat until the mix is all gone.

after the last layer of mix, place 4-6 more sheets of Phyllo on top for a cap.

using a sharp knife, cut the Baklava into 3in squares. then cut again diagonally to form triangles.

bake uncovered at 350deg for approx 40 minutes. check after 30min. if the top is turning crunchy brown, tent with aluminum foil.

to make the sauce, combine all ingredients and cook over medium heat until the honey dissolves and the sauce slightly thickens - approx 10 min.

pour the sauce over the hot Baklava.

sit aside at room temp and allow to cool and set.
