Slow Cooker Candied Cinnamon Pecans
Slow Cooker Candied Cinnamon Pecans are such a joy to make for the holidays. Every year I try and come up with fun new food gifts for friends that are different than your normal box of chocolates or cookies. One year I did a gingerbread trail mix and everyone was so excited to get something so unique I started looking for more fun recipes to play with.
Ingredients:
1 large egg white
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 cups pecan halves
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
5 teaspoons cinnamon
¼ cup Water
Canola oil spray
Directions:
In a medium sized bowl add the egg whites and vanilla together and whisk until frothy, 1-2 minutes.
Add in the pecans.
Add in the sugar, brown sugar and cinnamon.
Spray the inside of the crockpot with canola oil spray.
Add the pecan mixture to the slow cooker on low for 3 hours.
Stir every hour and when the nuts are a half an hour away from done pour in the water and stir one final time.
To ensure crispy exteriors spread the nuts out on a baking sheet to cool.
