How to Make Fruit And Nut Baklava
- In a small bowl, combine 1 cup chopped dried apricots, 1/2 cup raisins, and 1/4 cup white wine. Allow the fruit to soak for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
- In a separate bowl, mix 1 cup cashews, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of ground cloves.
- Place one sheet of phyllo dough into a greased 13x9 inch baking pan. Brush with melted butter (approximately 2 tablespoons).
- Repeat step 4 to create 5 layers of phyllo, brushing each layer with melted butter. Keep the dough covered with a damp towel to prevent drying.
- Spread 1/4 of the fruit mixture and 1/4 of the nut mixture evenly over the phyllo layers.
- Repeat steps 4-6, layering phyllo, fruit/nut mixture, and butter until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of phyllo.
- Using a very sharp knife, carefully score the top few layers of phyllo in a diamond pattern. Do not cut all the way through.
- Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 1 hour, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Gently warm 1 cup of honey in a saucepan or microwave until pourable.
- Immediately pour the warm honey evenly over the hot baklava, allowing it to soak into the layers.
- Let the baklava cool completely before serving. This allows the honey to set and the flavors to meld.
