Buttery Rhubarb Baklava

Ingredients:

• 1 cup chopped rhubarb
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 1 package phyllo dough (16 ounces)
• 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, or pistachios)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup honey

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a saucepan, combine the rhubarb, sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat until the rhubarb is tender and the mixture has thickened, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
3. Brush a 9x13-inch baking dish with some of the melted butter.
4. Place a sheet of phyllo dough in the dish and brush with butter. Repeat with half of the phyllo sheets, brushing each with butter.
5. Sprinkle half of the nuts over the phyllo dough, then top with half of the rhubarb mixture. Repeat the layering process with the remaining phyllo sheets, nuts, and rhubarb mixture.
6. Cut the baklava into diamond-shaped pieces using a sharp knife.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until golden brown.
8. While the baklava is baking, combine the remaining melted butter, cinnamon, and honey in a small saucepan over low heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
9. Remove the baklava from the oven and pour the honey mixture over the top. Let cool before serving.
