Fruit Baklava
Fruit Baklava
- 2 c. almonds, chopped
- 1 c. apples, chopped
- 1 c. cranberries, chopped
- 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- ¼ c. sugar
- ½ tsp. ground nutmeg
- 1 ½ c. clarified butter
- ½ c. Cox Honeyland's Raspberry Honey
- 1 pkg filo pastry
Combine fruit, nuts, and spices in a medium bowl. Reserve ½ cup butter for top and bottom layers. Stir honey into remaining 1 cup butter. Brush the bottom of a 13x9x2 inch pan with butter. Cut filo sheets in half. Cover with waxed paper and damp towel to keep from drying out.
Line the pan with 10 sheets of filo, brushing each with butter. Next, layer 1/3 cup mixture after brushing with honey mixture. Brush 2 sheets then fruit and alternate till all fruit is gone. Then add remaining sheets with remaining butter until all filo is used up. With a sharp knife, cut Baklava into diamond shaped pieces, then pour over remaining honey mixture. Bake in preheated oven at 325 °F for 45 minutes. Reduce heat to 275 °F and bake 20 minutes more. Remove from oven and while still hot pour honey syrup over top carefully.
