Prepare the Dough:

• Thaw the phyllo dough according to the package instructions.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C, or gas mark 4).
• Rub a small amount of melted butter onto the bottom and sides of a 9 × 13-inch glass baking dish.

Prepare the Nut Mixture:

• Place the pecans, walnuts, and almonds in a resealable plastic bag.
• Use a rolling pin or kitchen mallet to crush the nuts into small pieces.
• Add cinnamon to the bag, then shake to combine.

Layer the Phyllo Dough:

• Cut the stack of phyllo dough in half to fit the dish.
• Place 2 sheets of phyllo at the bottom of the dish and brush with melted butter.
• Repeat this process until you have 8 layers on the bottom.
• Sprinkle a layer of the nut mixture evenly over the phyllo.
• Cover with 2 more sheets of phyllo and brush with butter.
• Continue layering phyllo and nuts until 6–8 sheets of phyllo remain.

Finish the Top Layer:

• Use the remaining phyllo sheets to create 6–8 final layers on top, brushing with butter after every 2 sheets.
• Ensure the top is fully covered and brushed with butter.

Cut the Baklava:

• Using a very sharp knife, cut the baklava into 12 equal squares, then cut each square into 2 triangles for the traditional shape.

Bake:

• Bake the baklava for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and flaky.

Make the Syrup:

• While the baklava bakes, prepare the syrup by boiling the water and sugar in a saucepot until the sugar dissolves completely.
• Reduce to a simmer and add agave nectar and vanilla.
• Simmer for 20 minutes.

Combine:

• Once the baklava is out of the oven, immediately drizzle the syrup evenly over the top.
• Allow the dessert to absorb the syrup as it cools.

Cool and Serve:

• Let the baklava cool completely before serving.
• Avoid covering it, as this may make the phyllo soggy.
