How to Make Vegan Baklava
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine chopped walnuts, pistachios, and cinnamon.
- Lay one sheet of phyllo pastry in the prepared pan, brushing it lightly with melted vegan butter. Repeat with 10 more sheets, ensuring each layer is brushed with butter.
- Sprinkle one-third of the nut mixture over the phyllo layers.
- Repeat layers of phyllo and butter 5 times, sprinkling another third of nut mixture after the 5th layer and then after the 10th layer.
- Top with the remaining phyllo sheets, brushing each with butter.
- Cut the baklava into diamond or square shapes using a sharp knife.
- Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- While the baklava is baking, prepare the syrup. In a saucepan, combine water, sugar, orange juice, lemon juice, cinnamon stick, and vanilla extract. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Remove the cinnamon stick from the syrup.
- Pour the hot syrup evenly over the hot baklava immediately after removing it from the oven.
- Let the baklava cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
