1. Preheat Oven:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Prepare the Honey Syrup:

• In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, lemon juice, water, and honey over medium-high heat.
• Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
• Simmer for 4 minutes without stirring. Remove from heat and let cool while you prepare the baklava bites.

3. Prepare the Baking Sheet:

• Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil for easier cleanup and lightly grease the foil.
• Arrange the phyllo shells onto the baking sheet in an even layer. Set aside.

4. Make the Nut Filling:

• In a small bowl, combine the finely chopped nuts, cinnamon, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is fully moistened and combined.

5. Fill the Phyllo Shells:

• Using a cookie dough scoop, portion out the nut mixture into each phyllo shell, filling to the top.
• Compact the nut mixture gently using the back of the scoop.

6. Bake:

• Bake the baklava bites in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.

7. Add the Honey Syrup:

• Remove the baklava bites from the oven and immediately drizzle about 1 teaspoon of honey syrup over each bite.
• If there’s leftover syrup, add an additional 1/2 teaspoon to each baklava bite until the syrup is used up.

8. Cool and Set:

• Allow the baklava bites to cool completely. Let them stand overnight to let the flavors meld.
