Ingredients
- 1/2 cup almonds
- 1/2 cup walnuts
- 1/4 cup chopped dried apricots
- 1/4 cup plain bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- Pinch of salt
- 1 stick butter, melted, divided
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 12 sheets phyllo dough
Directions
Special equipment: 2 mini-muffin tins
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the almonds, walnuts, apricots, bread crumbs, sugar, cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt in a food processor. Run the machine until the mixture is very finely chopped. Transfer the mixture to a small bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of the melted butter and the honey and stir to combine.
On a dry work surface place 1 sheet of phyllo. Using a pastry brush and the remaining melted butter, lightly cover the entire sheet of phyllo with melted butter. Cover the first sheet with a second sheet of phyllo and brush with melted butter. Continue until there is a stack of 6 sheets of phyllo. Cut the stacked phyllo rectangle into 12 equal pieces (Cut lengthwise into 4 pieces and widthwise into 3 pieces.)
Gently press each cut piece of phyllo into the mini-muffin tin cups. Press 1 tablespoon of the nut mixture into each of the phyllo cups. Gather the ends of each of the phyllo squares and twist to make a sachet shape. Continue shaping the remaining sachets in the other mini-muffin tin. Bake until the edges of the phyllo are golden, about 20 to 25 minutes. When cool enough to handle, remove the baklava sachets and transfer to a serving plate.

I took these to a party with my husband's family for Greek Easter. My husband LOVED them. However I did make some adjustments to make them a little more authentic. I added the zest and juice of one small lemon to the filling. I also added a topping like you do in traditional baklava, with honey, lemon, sugar and water. Once the little bites were cooked and cooled, I would dip them in the hot topping. It added a little burst of honey flavor when you bit into them. It also added some moisture to the phyllo dough. I can't wait to make them again, especially since it is so much easier then making traditional baklava.
