Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°.
Arrange the nuts on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until golden and fragrant, about 8 minutes.
Let nuts cool slightly, then add to a food processor along with the lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of sugar, butter, and cinnamon, and pulse to combine.
Arrange 30 phyllo shells on a rimmed baking sheet and divide nut mixture between the cups (about 2 teaspoons per cup).
Pat the filling down with your fingers.
Bake for 10 minutes at 350˚F.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat add the water, 1/4 cup sugar and honey and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until reduced and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
Remove syrup from heat.
When the cups are done baking, remove from the oven.
Pour 1 teaspoon syrup into each cup and allow it to soak in, then repeat with another teaspoon, until all syrup is used.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Notes
*Any combination of almonds, walnuts, pecans, and pistachios can be used.
