Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix the honey and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Carefully unroll the phyllo dough and cover it with a damp cloth to prevent drying out.
Take one sheet of phyllo dough and brush it lightly with melted butter. Layer another sheet on top and brush with butter again. Repeat until you have 4 layers.
Spread a thin layer of the honey and cinnamon mixture over the top layer of phyllo dough. If using nuts, sprinkle a small amount evenly over the honey mixture.
Starting from one end, gently roll the phyllo dough into a tight log. Place the roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat the process with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling.
Brush the tops of the rolls with any remaining melted butter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and crispy.
Allow the rolls to cool slightly before slicing them into bite-sized pieces. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
Variations & Tips
For a nut-free version, simply omit the nuts. You can also experiment with different fillings, such as adding a touch of vanilla extract to the honey mixture or using a mix of brown sugar and cinnamon for a different flavor profile. If you have picky eaters, consider adding a layer of cream cheese before spreading the honey mixture for a creamy twist. For a more festive touch, drizzle melted chocolate over the cooled roll ups before serving.
