Directions
Honey Baklava Cups
Preheat oven to 325˚F.
In the work bowl of a food processor, pulse together walnuts, pecans, almonds, sugar, cinnamon, and cloves until nuts are almost ground.
On a large rimmed baking sheet, place phyllo cups. Gently brush inside of shells with melted butter. Spoon nut mixture into phyllo cups.
Bake until nuts are golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes.
Gently spoon Honey Citrus Syrup into baklava cups. Let stand for 2 hours.
Gently remove from pan, and place baklava cups in paper liners. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
