Ingredients

Honey Syrup

• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/4 cup honey
• Squeeze of lemon

Baklava

• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 1 pack filo pastry (24 sheets)
• 1/2 cup walnuts
• 1 tsp cinnamon

• 4 Rockit™ apples, peeled and sliced thinly

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180c
2. In a saucepan, combine Honey Syrup ingredients. Bring to a boil over medium heat, once boiling reduce to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
3. To prepare the filing, place walnuts in a food processor. When walnuts look like fine crumbs, transfer to a bowl and mix with honey and cinnamon until combined.
4. Cut the filo sheets to the same size as an 8×8 inch pan. Lightly grease the base of the pan with melted butter, place each filo sheet on top of each other with a brush of melted butter in between each layer.
5. Add prepared filing and spread it out evenly. Top with thinly sliced Rockit™ apples.
6. Add another sheet of filo on top, brush with melted butter and repeat this process with another 12 sheets of filo.
7. Use a sharp knife to cut diagonal into the Baklava, pour any remaining melted butter on top.
8. Bake for 20 minutes, then reduce oven heat to 160c and bake for another 35-40 minutes or until Baklava is golden brown.
9. Remove from the oven and pour the Honey Syrup all over the hot Baklava. Let it sit in pan until syrup is absorbed, this can take a least 1 hour.

Enjoy!
