Apple Baklava

Ok, I can't get credit for this post… it was all Amy Bite's… this apple baklava recipe is beyond divine!!

I had no idea making baklava is this easy, you just have to try it.

Here are some step by step pictures. Full recipe here!

Toasting some nuts, I ran out of walnuts and pecans, so I just added a nut mix that I had on hand… Here are some almonds, macadamia, cashews, and Brazilian nuts. Toasting is definitely the way to go, this extra step really brings out the nutty flavors, don't skip this!

Making the syrup...

Slicing apples, I used granny smith.

Start layering the phyllo with butter spray!

Layering on the apples and nut mix… and hey, it's Bear in the back! ha.

Apple Crumb Pie

Have you ever tried to make a homemade apple pie from scratch? yea, too time consuming, I agree. Unless you are a master baker, getting the right consistency of the dough, cutting the dough into strips and all that stuff just gets too complicated on a busy week schedule.


Well, I've got a great recipe for you! I made it before dinner on Thanksgiving Day and it only took 15 minute to put together! Everything is homemade, no store bought dough or filling (truthfully, I don't really like that kind of stuff unless I am beyond desperate). This apple crumb pie tastes so yummy, especially with a huge scoop of quality vanilla bean ice cream!
