Apple Walnut Baklava (adapted from http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Baklava/Detail.aspx)
Ingredients:
- 1 roll of phyllo dough (usually comes in a box with two rolls; you only need one)
- 2 cups chopped walnuts
- 2 large Granny smith apples (or 4-5 small ones)
- 1 cup butter (if you need the dish to be vegan, use Smart Balance)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 cup apple cider
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- ~1/2 cup brown sugar
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Butter the bottom and sides of a 9X13 inch glass or metal baking dish.
- Chop apples into very small pieces and toss with cinnamon and walnuts. Set aside.
- Melt the butter and unroll the phyllo dough.
- Place a sheet of phyllo in the bottom of the dish and brush butter onto it.
- Repeat until you’ve used half of the roll of dough.
- Spread the apple/walnut/cinnamon mixture over the dough and pour a little bit of butter over it.
- Finish with the rest of the phyllo dough in the same way you did the first half.
- Use a sharp knife to cut diamonds or squares all the way to the bottom of the pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes (in a SoCo oven it took 60 minutes, turning once halfway through to compensate for uneven heating)
- While the baklava is baking, put the apple cider, white sugar, and brown sugar in a pot over medium-high heat and cook until it reaches a syrupy consistency, stirring frequently and watching to be sure it doesn’t boil over.
- Remove the baklava from the oven and immediately pour the sauce over it. Let it cool, then enjoy.
