Ingredients:

Serving

walnut filling
4 cups (1 lb) walnuts, finely ground
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
baklava
1 1/4 cups butter, melted
1 (16-oz) package. frozen phyllo dough , thawed according to package directions
honey-lemon sauce
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup honey
1/2 tsp. finely shredded lemon peel
2 tbsp. lemon juice
2 inches stick cinnamon
1 cup water

Directions:

WALNUT FILLING:
In a large mixing bowl stir together all ingredients; set aside.
BAKLAVA:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Brush the bottom of a 15x10x1-inch baking pan with some of the melted butter. Unfold phyllo dough. Working quickly, layer about one-fourth of the phyllo sheets in the pan, brushing or spraying each sheet generously with butter and allowing phyllo to extend up the sides of the pan.
Sprinkle about 1 1/2 cups of the filling over the phyllo in the pan. Repeat layering phyllo and filling 2 more times. Layer remaining phyllo sheets in the pan, brushing or spraying each sheet with butter. Drizzle any remaining butter, or spray butter, over top layer.
Trim edges of phyllo to fit pan. Using a sharp knife, cut through all layers to make triangle or diamond shaped pieces or squares.
Bake at 325 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Slightly cool in pan on a wire rack and pour honey-lemon sauce over warm baklava. Cool completely.
HONEY-LEMON SAUCE:
While Baklava is cooking, in a medium saucepan stir together the 1 1/2 cups sugar, honey, lemon peel, lemon juice, stick cinnamon and 1 cup water. Bring to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Remove cinnamon.
