Finely chop the walnuts, preferably using a food processor for an even texture.
Mix one teaspoon of cinnamon into the chopped walnuts.
Melt the butter on the stove.
Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan thoroughly with the melted butter.
Unwrap the phyllo dough and thaw it overnight in the refrigerator.
Keep the phyllo dough covered with a damp towel while working to prevent it from drying out.
Place two sheets of phyllo dough at the bottom of the pan, brushing each sheet generously with melted butter.
Repeat this layering process until you have eight sheets of phyllo, buttering each layer.
Spread a thin layer of the walnut mixture over the phyllo base, then add two more layers of buttered phyllo sheets.
Continue alternating layers of walnut mixture and two sheets of buttered phyllo until all the walnut mixture and dough are used.
