    by: Chef Tom

    Phyllo cup: 8 oz phyllo dough
    ½ cup unsalted butter - melted

    The Filling: 1 cup walnuts
    1 cup blanched almonds
    1 egg white
    ½ cup powdered sugar
    ½ Tsp Cinnamon, ¼ Tsp Nutmeg
    ¼ Tsp Lemon Zest

    The syrup: 1 cup granulated sugar
    ¾ cup water
    1 tsp lemon juice
    2 drops orange oil
    or 1 tsp orange extract

    Carefully brush 10 sheets of phyllo dough with butter, creating a 10 layer sheet thick pastry. Place a damp towel on the phyllo sheets not being used to prevent them from drying.

    Cut the phyllo dough into 3" squares (12 squares per sheet) using either kitchen shears or a pizza cutter.

    Put the phyllo squares into a mini cupcake pan, pressing the sheets all the way to the bottom of the cupcake pan.

    Combine the walnuts, almonds, cinnamon, nutmeg and lemon zest in a food processor, and pulse until the nuts are coarsely ground.

    Spoon the nut mixture directly into the phyllo cups. Bake at 350 until the phyllo cups are browned (30-40 minutes).

    While the cups are baking, combine the sugar, water, lemon juice and bring to a boil. Simmer for 10 minutes then add orange oil/extract. Let cool.

    Spoon syrup directly on to the nut portion of the dessert and let stand for 1 hour before serving.
