Baklava is a sweet, buttery Greek treat. The honey syrup drizzled on top gives this classic dessert a delicious twist. —Trisha Kruse, Eagle, Idaho

Ingredients

  • Butter-flavored cooking spray
  • 1 package (16 ounces, 14x9-inch sheet size) frozen phyllo dough, thawed
  • 2 cups finely chopped walnuts, toasted
  • SYRUP:
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 3/4 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  • 1. Coat a 13x9-in. baking pan with cooking spray. Unroll phyllo dough; trim to fit into pan.
  • 2. Layer 2 sheets of phyllo dough in prepared pan, spritz with cooking spray. Repeat 3 times. (Keep remaining phyllo covered with a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.) Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons nuts. Top with 2 sheets of phyllo and spritz with cooking spray. Repeat layering with nuts, phyllo and cooking spray 10 times. Top with remaining phyllo dough, spritzing every other sheet with cooking spray.
  • 3. Using a sharp knife, cut into 30 triangles. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine syrup ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour over warm baklava. Cool completely on a wire rack. Cover and let stand for several hours or overnight.
