Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup almonds
- 1/2 cup walnuts
- 1/4 cup chopped dried apricots
- 1/4 cup bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 1.5 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- A pinch of salt
- 110 g melted butter, in portions
- 3 tablespoons of honey
- 12 sheets of filo dough
- Additional equipment: 12 small muffin tins
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 180°C.
Place the almonds, walnuts, dried apricots, bread crumbs, sugar, cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt in a food processor. Process until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of melted butter and honey and blend.
- Place 1 sheet of phyllo dough on a dry work surface. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the entire surface with the remaining melted butter. Top the first sheet with a second sheet and brush it with melted butter as well.
Lay out 6 sheets of dough in this manner. Cut the rectangle of stacked dough sheets into 12 pieces (cut lengthwise into 4 pieces and crosswise into 3 pieces).
- Gently press each piece of dough into a muffin liner. Press a tablespoon of the nut mixture into each phyllo shell. Gather the ends of each dough square and fold them over to form a knot. Form the remaining knots using other muffin liner cups.
Bake until the edges of the dough are golden brown, about 20-25 minutes. When the baklava is cool enough to avoid burning your hands, remove the balls from the molds and transfer them to a serving plate.
