Ingredients

1 lb fillo dough (thawed)

1–1/4 cup of butter (melted)

3 lb granny smith apples

1.5 cups walnuts (chopped)

1 cup plain bread crumbs

1 tablespoon cinnamon

1/2 cup sugar

Syrup:

3 1/2 cups sugar

3 1/2 cups water

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 lemon

Instructions

Make the syrup first. I usually make it a day ahead. It has to be cold when you pour over hot baklava.

In a medium saucepan bring to boil water and sugar.
Add vanilla and lemon cut in thin circles.
Lower the heat and let it cook for about 10 minutes. Cool completely.
Peel and grate apples. Add sugar, cinnamon, and bread crumbs and walnuts. Mix well.
Divide fillo dough in 5 equal parts. My pack had 20 sheets so I had 5×4 sheets.
Start working with the first group of fillo sheets and keep the rest covered.
On a baking pan lined with parchment paper lay down first sheet, brush with melted butter. Lay the second sheet over, brush with melted butter. Repeat with 3rd and 4th phillo sheets.
Spread over 1/5 of the apple filling along the longer side and roll it up. Transfer to a baking pan greased with melted butter.
Repeat with remaining 4 groups of fillo dough sheets.
Cut up apple baklava into equal pieces.
Brush with remaining melted butter.
Bake 35 – 40 minutes on 380F or until golden brown.
Pour cold syrup over baklava. Let it soak overnight.
