📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 1 baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 2 tablespoons of water, ¼ cup of light brown sugar, honey, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the syrup thickens slightly, 4 to ⏱️ 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer to a liquid measuring cup to cool slightly while assembling the baklava bites.
3
To the bowl of a food processor, add the walnuts and pistachios. Pulse the nuts in 15 to 20 (1-second) bursts until they are uniformly chopped. They should be smaller than grains of rice. Set 1 tablespoon of chopped nuts aside.
4
In a large bowl, place the remaining chopped walnuts and pistachios. Place the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted, ⏱️ 30 seconds to ⏱️ 1 minute. Stir in the remaining 1/3 cup of light brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon zest, and salt. Pour the butter mixture over the nuts, stirring until well combined.
5
Spoon a scant tablespoon of the nut mixture into each mini phyllo cup, pressing the mixture down gently to fill the cups. Place the cups on the prepared baking sheet.
6
Bake until the filling is set and lightly golden, 12 to ⏱️ 14 minutes.
7
While the cups are still warm, spoon ½ teaspoon of syrup over each cup, allowing the syrup to soak into the filling. Reserve any remaining syrup.
8
To serve, brush the tops of the bites with the remaining syrup and sprinkle with the reserved nuts.
