Steps

1

To make the filling: combine brown sugar, cinnamon and walnuts.
2

Place 3 sheets of phyllo in the prepared pan lightly brushed with butter, spread half of the filling, top with 3 more sheets, add the other half of filling and end with the last 3 sheets of phyllo. Brush the top with butter.
3

To make the syrup: stir the water, lemon juice, maple syrup until all dissolves on low heat and let it cool once done.
4

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
5

With a sharp knife cut the top layer of phyllo in triangles.
6

Just before baking, lightly sprinkle with cold water. This inhibits the pastry from curling.
7

Bake it for about 20-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.
8

Cut through the scored lines and drizzle the cooled syrup slowly over the hot baklava. Let it cool and serve it at room temperature.
