Roll out the dough and layer it in the greased baking dish, brushing each layer with melted butter.

Chop walnuts and mix with sugar and raisins (and dried apricots if using).

Spread the nut mixture evenly over the dough layers.

Continue layering dough, brushing each layer with butter, until all dough is used.

Cut the baklava into diamond or square shapes with a sharp knife.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-40 minutes, until golden brown.

While baklava bakes, prepare meringue with egg whites and sugar.

Once baklava is done baking, drizzle honey over the top.

Allow to cool completely before serving.
