Banana Split Baklava Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F(175 degrees C). Butter the bottoms and sides of a 9x13 inch pan.
• Chop nuts and toss with cinnamon. Set aside. Unroll phyllo dough. Cut whole stack in half to fit pan. Cover phyllo with a dampened cloth to keep from drying out as you work. Place two sheets of dough in pan, butter thoroughly. Repeat until you have 8 sheets layered. Sprinkle 2 - 3 tablespoons of nut mixture on top. Top with two sheets of dough, butter, nuts, layering as you go. The top layer should be about 6 - 8 sheets deep.
• Using a sharp knife cut into diamond or square shapes all the way to the bottom of the pan. You may cut into 4 long rows the make diagonal cuts. Bake for about 50 minutes until baklava is golden and crisp.
• Make sauce while baklava is baking. Boil sugar and water until sugar is melted. Add vanilla and honey. Simmer for about 20 minutes.
• Remove baklava from oven and immediately spoon sauce over it. Let cool. Serve in cupcake papers. This freezes well. Leave it uncovered as it gets soggy if it is wrapped up.

Steps:

• Rough chop Banana Split® and place in a medium size mixing bowl. Add honey, ½ cup brown sugar, ½ tsp. cinnamon, and ¼ cup melted butter. In between each filo sheet layer, spread some of the remaining melted butter and sprinkle with some of the remaining cinnamon and sugar. Repeat this step four times. Cut into six equal squares and place into individual mini muffin tins; repeat this step until you have filled twenty-four mini muffin tins. Fill each muffin slot with the Banana Split® mixture. Pinch the individual mini baklavas shut and place in the oven until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Remove from oven; drizzle with honey and sprinkle with sugar.
