Several years ago, I created something I called Southern Baklava. I 
rolled out a sheet of puff pastry to fit an 8x12 glass dish. Put a 
modified Pecan Pie filling (more pecans, less goo) over that, another 
layer of puff pastry, more pie goo, finish with puff. Brushed top with 
butter and bake. Drizzled a mixture of honey and orange juice over the 
top and let it sit.

Served it at room temperature with with Chantilly Cream (bourbon instead 
of brandy, of course). It was interesting. The middle layer of puff 
pastry didn't do to well, though.
