Baklava Pie ❤️ I know…I know, far from the traditional #baklava but I thought it was a fun way to serve it…even my skeptical Syrian dad loved it!

First, chop the nuts until pretty small, or you can also process them.
Secondly, add the sugar and water to a pan and simmer until it coats the back of a spoon. About 3-4 minutes. Then, add in honey, orange blossom water and cardamom. Simmer 1 minute. Turn off and add the 3 tbsp butter. Let cool.
Prepare an 8 or 10 inch pan by adding a large parchment paper on the bottom. Then, add some of the caramel and then all the nuts. Add rest of the caramel.
Then, place one phyllo sheet on a cutting board and brush it with butter, top it with another phyllo sheet and repeat 2 more times for a total of 4 layered phyllo sheets. Crinkle it from both ends and roll it. Then, place it in the center of the pan over the caramel.
Repeat this process forming a spiral with the crinkle phyllo until the pan is completely covered. It will take about 7-8 crinkle phyllo sheets.
Lastly, bake at 375F for 45-50 minutes or until golden. Press phyllo into the warm caramel so it gets absorbed. Let it cool for about 2 hours and flip. Peel parchment paper off and done.
