Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Mix 1 cup of chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds or pistachios), 1/2 cup of sugar and 1 tsp of ground cinnamon.
Set aside.

Layer the Phyllo Dough
Brush a baking dish with melted butter.
Place a sheet of phyllo dough in the dish and brush with more melted butter. Repeat with 5 more sheets, brushing each with butter.

Add the Nut Mixture
Spread the nut mixture evenly over each phyllo layer.
Layer the remaining phyllo sheets on top, brushing each with butter.

Score and Bake
Score the top layer of phyllo into diamond or square shapes.
Bake for 45–50 minutes or until the top is golden and crisp.

Drizzle with Honey
While the baklava bakes, heat 1 cup of honey in a saucepan until warm.
Remove the baklava from the oven and pour the warm honey over it.
