Instructions

1. Make homemade simple syrup first by boiling together the sugar, water, and lemon juice for 10 minutes; then set it aside to cool. You can make the simple syrup days before and store it in a mason jar in a cool place.
2. Crush the almonds and pecans in a food processor.
3. To the crushed almonds and pecans, add cinnamon and 1/3 cup simple syrup, then mix well.
4. Put the phyllo cups (15 count per package) on a baking tray, and fill each one with about 1 teaspoon of the nut mixture.
5. Bake in the oven at 350°F for 20 minutes.
6. Once they come out of the oven, drizzle some of the remaining simple syrup on top and garnish with edible roses (optional) before serving.
