Top with 10 sheets of phyllo, brushing each sheet with melted butter. Repeat procedure twice with remaining nut mixture, phyllo, and butter, ending with buttered phyllo.

Notes
You can just use a cup of one kind of nuts, like pecans or walnuts.
I use lots of butter and all of the phyllo in the package, so my layers are more than 10 sheets.
Make sure that you cut the dough before you bake it!
