prep

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Transfer phyllo cups onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.



 



In a medium bowl, combine the chopped nuts, cinnamon, cardamom, rose water and salt and mix well. Pour in 2 tablespoons honey and 1 tablespoon melted butter and mix again. 



  



Divide the nut mixture and fill each phyllo cup evenly. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes until phyllo is golden and nuts are fragrant. Allow to cool slightly. Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of melted butter and some honey. Best served while warm.
