Steps:
- Add the peach slices to a medium bowl. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the honey over the peaches and toss until coated. Set aside for at least 30 minutes.
- Beat the yogurt, heavy cream and remaining 4 tablespoons honey in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes.
- Line a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan that is at least 2 inches deep with plastic wrap, leaving about 2 inches of overhang on all sides. Spread a heaping 1/2 cup of the yogurt-cream mixture over the bottom of the pan. Evenly layer about 14 slices (about 1/2 cup) of the peaches over the cream. Top with 1 1/2 sheets of graham crackers. Break up the remaining 1/2 sheet into small pieces and use them to fill in the gaps. Repeat twice with the remaining yogurt-cream mixture, peaches and graham crackers (making sure to end with a layer of graham crackers on top). Cover the top of the pan with the overhanging plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours and up to 12.
- When ready to serve, unwrap the top of the loaf plan and invert it onto a flat plate or cutting board. Remove the plastic wrap, sprinkle with the pistachios and drizzle with honey.
PEACH BAKLAVA
I LOVE peaches. In the summer when peaches are ripe and juicy, this is a wonderfully decadent dessert. It isn't for anyone who is counting calories though. If you're having guests, this can be prepared ahead of time.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine walnuts, 1 cup of sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon and put aside.
- Melt 1 stick of butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add the chopped peaches and simmer until the mixture is thick. This should take about 25 minutes. Mash the softened peaches with the back of a spoon. Transfer the peach mixture to a shallow pan and chill completely in the refrigerator.
- Melt the remaining butter. Grease a 10 X 16 X 2 inch pan. Remove the phyllo sheets from the package and wrap in a damp towel. Working quickly, brush a sheet with butter and place it in the greased pan. Repeat this process with 7 more sheets of phyllo.
- Sprinkle 1/2 of the nut mixture over the pastry sheets. Brush 5 more sheets with butter and layer over the nut mixture. Spread the cooled peach mixture over the pastry. Top the peaches with another 5 buttered phyllo sheets. Spread the pastry with the remaining nut mixture. Top with 7 more buttered sheets. Top with 1 remaining phyllo sheet that is without butter.
- With a small sharp knife, cut the pastry into 1 1/2 X 1 1/2 inch diamonds by making diagonal cuts. Make sure that you cut all the way to the bottom. Using a spray bottle filled with water, spritz the top of the pastry generously to prevent curling in the oven. Bake in a 325 degree oven for 6o to 90 minutes until the top is golden brown.
- Place the remaining 2 cups sugar, water, cloves, remaining 1 tablespoon cinnamon, and orange and lemon zest in a small saucepan over medium heat. Boil for 10 minutes, then add honey and allow to cool slightly. Strain the syrup and set aside. When the baklava comes out of the oven, pour the syrup mixture over the pastry. Chill the pastry in the refrigerator overnight before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Spray eight 1-cup muffin tins with cooking spray.

Tips:
- For a crispy baklava, use filo dough that is thin and flaky.

- If you don't have a pastry brush, you can use your fingers to spread the butter.
- To make sure the baklava is evenly cooked, cut it into small pieces before baking.
- Baklava can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
