Baklava ✨🍊 layered, golden, and soaked in the dreamiest vanilla orange honey syrup

1. Prepare the nut mixture: Pulse the pistachios, walnuts, and graham crackers with cinnamon until fine.
2. Prepare the simple syrup: In a saucepan, combine white sugar, water, vanilla bean, juice of 1 lemon, juice of ½ cara cara orange, and honey. Bring to a simmer until the sugar dissolves. Let cool completely.

6. Top with 3 sheets of phyllo dough, buttering each layer.
7. Add another layer of nuts. Repeat the layers of 3 buttered phyllo sheets and nuts until the pan is full, ensuring the top layer is phyllo dough (butter the top layers well).
8. Score the baklava into diamond or square shapes before baking.
9. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour, or until golden brown and crisp.
10. Immediately after removing from the oven, pour the cooled simple syrup evenly over the hot baklava.
