Pecan and almond baklava. Baklava is so light, fluffy, and full of my favorite flavors. I have to give it away every time I make it because I can't get enough. I could eat the whole pan in one sitting.
This is a lovely little stop between Alpena and Gaylord, would highly recommend.
We sampled the baklava as well as lemon bars and coconut almond poppyseed bars, equally delicious.
With almonds indigenous to Morocco, it's natural that they are the nuts of choice in Moroccan style baklava or baklawa as it's also known, due to the absence of the letter "v" in the Arabic alphabet.

I simply went by taste and texture and kept trying out new approaches until I was. Pecan and almond date bars are a hearty snack perfect for hiking or camping when you need an extra boost in the afternoon. Combine flour, flax seeds, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a food processor; pulse a few times. Add pecans and almonds to flour mixture; pulse until nuts are coarsely. Bring the mixture to a boil When you remove the baklava from the oven, drizzle half of the honey mixture evenly all over the top.
