With a flavor and texture similar to baklava, this delightful dessert appeals to young and old alike. It's especially delicious with honey drizzled over the top.—Marie Rizzio, Interlochen, Michigan
Ingredients:
1/2 cup shelled pistachios, toasted
1/4 cup unblanched whole almonds, toasted
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
12 sheets phyllo dough (14 inches x 9 inches)
butter-flavored cooking spray
1/4 cup honey, divided
Directions:
1. Place pistachios and almonds in a food processor; cover and process until finely chopped. Add the sugar, butter and cinnamon; cover and process until blended.
2. Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a work surface. Spray with butter-flavored cooking spray. Repeat with second layer. Keep remaining phyllo dough covered with plastic wrap and a damp towel to avoid drying out. Spread 1/3 cup nut mixture over phyllo to within 1 in. of sides; drizzle with 1 tablespoon honey. Layer with two more sheets of phyllo, spraying each layer with cooking spray.
3. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting from the short side. Repeat with remaining phyllo, nut mixture and honey.
4. With a sharp knife, cut each roll into six pieces; place seam side down on a greased baking sheet. Spray with cooking spray. Bake at 325° for 16-20 minutes or until golden; drizzle with remaining honey. Yield: 1-1/2 dozen.
