I made this version of baklava for a Biblical Marketplace at church and it was a huge hit! There were only a few slivers left over and my daughter (age 4) decided that she wanted baklava on top of her birthday cake! :)

Wonderful! I rolled my crescent dough between waxed paper for the top layer, made it easier to cover the nut mixture. Also used less nuts and lime juice since no lemon on hand. Turned out sinful! Thank you! Wendy
