Baklava is a classic dessert that has been enjoyed for centuries. It is believed to have originated in the Middle East, and it has since become a popular dessert all over the world. There are many different variations of baklava, but the basic ingredients are always the same: filo dough, nuts, and honey. In this recipe, we use figs and walnuts to create a unique and delicious twist on the classic dessert. The figs add a sweetness and chewiness to the baklava, while the walnuts add a nutty crunch. The honey brings all of the flavors together and creates a sweet and sticky glaze that is irresistible.
