Honey Cinnamon Roll-Ups

This cinnamon treat reminds me of baklava, but with only a few easy ingredients, it's a fraction of the work. It's my aunt's recipe, and I think of her when I make it. —Sue Falk, Sterling Heights, Michigan

Honey Cinnamon Roll-Ups

Ingredients

  1. 2 cups ground walnuts, toasted
  2. 1/4 cup sugar
  3. 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  4. 12 sheets frozen phyllo dough, thawed
  5. 1/2 cup butter, melted

  6. SYRUP

    1/2 cup honey
  7. 1/2 cup sugar
  8. 1/2 cup water
  9. 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Combine walnuts, sugar and cinnamon.
  2. Place 1 sheet of phyllo dough on a 15x12-in. piece of waxed paper; brush with butter. Place a second phyllo sheet on top, brushing it with butter. (Keep remaining phyllo covered with a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.) Sprinkle with 1/4 cup walnut mixture. Using waxed paper, roll up tightly jelly-roll style, starting with a long side, removing paper as you roll. Slice roll into 4 smaller rolls; transfer rolls to a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Repeat with remaining phyllo dough and walnut mixture, by 1/4 cupfuls. Bake until light brown, 14-16 minutes. Cool dish on a wire rack.
  3. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine all syrup ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer for 5 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes. Drizzle rolls with syrup; sprinkle with remaining walnut mixture.
