Ingredients:

  • 4 cups (400g) pecan halves
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) water
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions:

  1. Line the slow cooker with parchment paper, leaving an overhang.
  2. In the slow cooker, combine pecans, granulated sugar, brown sugar, water, melted butter, cinnamon, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. Stir well to ensure the pecans are evenly coated. Cook on low for 3-4 hours, stirring every 30-60 minutes to prevent burning and ensure even caramelization.
  4. Spread the candied pecans in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Separate the nuts as much as possible.
  5. Let the pecans cool completely at room temperature. The sugar coating will harden as they cool.
  6. Once cooled, break apart any clumps and serve, store or gift. Enjoy your Slow Cooker Candied Cinnamon Pecans!
