Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Thaw the phyllo dough according to the package instructions. In a large bowl, mix together the walnuts, granulated sugar, flour, and spices. Set aside.
2
Layer the phyllo dough in a large baking dish, brushing each layer with melted butter. Repeat this process until you have 5 layers of phyllo dough.
3
Sprinkle the walnut mixture evenly over the top layer of phyllo dough. Fold the excess phyllo dough over the filling to create a seal.
4
Bake the baklava for 45-50 minutes, or until the phyllo dough is golden brown and the filling is fragrant. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
5
While the baklava is cooling, prepare the honey syrup. In a small saucepan, combine the honey, water, and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
6
Drizzle the honey syrup over the baklava and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
