  4. Evenly fill each phyllo cup with the nut and sugar mixture.
  5. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the phyllo cups are lightly golden brown and the filling is fragrant.
  6. While the baklava cups are baking, whisk together ¼ cup honey and 1 tablespoon of water in a small bowl to create a honey syrup.
