Ingredients

• 12 sheets Phyllo dough sheets
• 100 grams Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 Ripe peaches, diced
• 120 grams Pistachios, finely chopped
• 80 grams Almonds, finely chopped
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cardamom
• 120 milliliters Honey
• 60 milliliters Water
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3 Cloves (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin lightly with melted butter.

Step 2

Cut the phyllo sheets into squares roughly 15 cm (6 inches) on each side. Keep the sheets covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying out.

Step 3

Brush one square of phyllo dough with melted butter, and layer another square on top, slightly staggered to create a flower-like shape. Repeat with a third layer, brushing each with butter.

Step 4

Carefully press the layered phyllo flower into one of the greased muffin tin cups, shaping it to fit and leaving the edges slightly crinkled for texture. Repeat this for all 12 muffin cups.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, combine the diced peaches, chopped pistachios, chopped almonds, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground cardamom. Mix until evenly combined.

Step 6

Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of the peach mixture into each phyllo flower cup, filling them just to the top.

Step 7

Bake the phyllo flowers in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crisp.

Step 8

While the baklava flowers are baking, prepare the syrup by combining the honey, water, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and cloves in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and discard the cloves if used.

Step 9

Once the baklava flowers are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly for 5 minutes. While still warm, drizzle the prepared syrup over each flower, ensuring the filling and edges are coated.

Step 10

Allow the baklava flowers to cool completely before removing them from the muffin tin. Serve and enjoy, or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
