In a bowl, combine chopped walnuts, chopped pistachios, sugar, and ground cinnamon. Mix well and set aside.

Prepare the Nut Filling

Thaw the phyllo dough according to package instructions. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Prepare the Phyllo Dough

Brush a 9x13 inch baking dish with melted butter. Layer 8 sheets of phyllo dough, brushing each with melted butter. Spread a layer of the nut filling over the phyllo. Repeat layering, alternating phyllo and nut filling, until all filling is used. Top with 8 more layers of phyllo, brushing each with butter.

Assemble the Baklava

Using a sharp knife, cut the baklava into diamond or square shapes. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until golden brown.

Cut and Bake

While the baklava is baking, combine water, honey, and vanilla extract in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

Make the Syrup

Once the baklava is done baking, remove it from the oven and immediately pour the cooled syrup over it. Allow the baklava to soak for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
