Easy Baklava image

This recipe was given to me years ago by a friend who was known as the "go to person" for desserts at work. It does takes some short cuts & purists may not like that. But it sure does taste good & it is SO much easier than traditional baklava. I prefer this recipe to the ones with honey.

This was the worst baklava I've ever had. The phyllo dough was dry and the filling was gritty.

I'm not sure what went wrong with my baklava. I followed the recipe carefully, but it just didn't turn out right.

This baklava was a disappointment. It was too sweet and the phyllo dough was too thick.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my baklava didn't turn out. The phyllo dough was soggy and the filling was bland.

My baklava didn't turn out quite as good as I had hoped. The phyllo dough was a bit too dry and the filling was a bit too sweet.

This baklava turned out perfect! The phyllo dough was crispy and buttery, and the filling was rich and flavorful. I would definitely make this again.
