Ingredients

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 375°F. Combine figs, walnuts, sugar and cinnamon; set aside. Lightly brush 1 phyllo sheet with butter; keep remaining phyllo dough covered with a damp towel. Place next sheet on top and brush with butter; repeat with remaining sheets. Cut into 12 equal squares. Place 2 tablespoons fig mixture in center of each square. Gather and crimp edges of phyllo dough around filling to form a "nest." Place on baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake 8-10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove. Drizzle 1 teaspoon honey syrup* over each nest.

Notes

*Honey syrup: Combine 1/4 cup each honey and sugar, 1 tablespoon water and 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice. Bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer 3 minutes.
