Turkish Baklava [0000386]

Ingredients:

1 package (16 oz) gluten-free phyllo dough
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 cups finely chopped nuts (walnuts or pistachios)
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup water
1 cup granulated sugar (for syrup)
1/2 cup honey
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Steps:

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
In a bowl, combine chopped nuts, sugar, and ground cinnamon.
Brush a baking dish with melted butter and layer a sheet of gluten-free phyllo dough. Brush with more butter and repeat until half the sheets are used.
Spread the nut mixture evenly over the phyllo layers.
Layer the remaining phyllo sheets, brushing each layer with melted butter.
Using a sharp knife, cut the baklava into diamond or square shapes.
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown.
While baking, make the syrup by boiling water, sugar, honey, and lemon juice. Simmer for 10 minutes.
Pour the hot syrup over the baked baklava as soon as it comes out of the oven.
Let it cool and absorb the syrup before serving.
Enjoy your gluten-free Turkish Baklava!
