Preheat oven to 350°F. Melt 4 tbsp butter. Brush a 9x9-inch baking dish with some butter.

Layer 8 phyllo sheets in the dish, brushing each with melted butter. Trim edges to fit if needed.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and crisp. Meanwhile, simmer 1 cup sugar, 0.5 cup water, and 0.5 cup orange juice for 5 minutes until syrupy.
