Easy Baklava Fingers

Directions:

• 1Preheat the oven to 180°C.
• 2Add the nuts, cinnamon, lemon zest and the 3 tablespoons of maple syrup to a food processor. Process until the nuts form coarse crumbs and everything is combined.
• 3Place one sheet of filo pastry on a clean surface and cover the rest with a tea towel so they don't dry out. Brush the sheet of pastry with oil and place another sheet of pastry on top. Brush that sheet of pastry with oil and repeat until you have a stack of 5 sheets of pastry then set aside.
• 4Repeat the above step with the other 5 sheets of pastry. You should have 2 stacks of filo pastry. Cut each stack of pastry into 6 rectangles.
• 5Place a heaped tablespoon of the filling near the short edge of the pastry. Roll the pastry as if you're rolling a burrito. Place each 'finger' in a deep baking tray.
• 6Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
• 7To make the syrup topping, add the maple and vanilla to a small saucepan over low heat. When the syrup is heated through, pour over the hot baklava.
• 8Allow the baklava to cool and enjoy. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge.
