Ingredients
4 cups pecan halves
1 large egg white
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
¼ cup water
Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Prepare Egg White Mixture:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg white and vanilla extract until frothy (about 1–2 minutes).
Coat Pecans:
Add pecans to the egg white mixture and toss until evenly coated.
Mix Sugar & Cinnamon:
In a separate bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Pour over pecans and toss to coat.
Cook in Slow Cooker:
Spray a 6-quart slow cooker with non-stick spray. Add coated pecans.
Cover and cook on low for 3 hours, stirring every 30 minutes.
Crunchy Finish:
During the last 30 minutes, stir in the ¼ cup water to help create a crisp, crunchy coating.
Cool & Serve:
Spread pecans out on a baking sheet to cool for 20–30 minutes before serving or storing.
Notes
Equipment: Use a 6-quart slow cooker for even cooking and crisp results.
Flavor Boost: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy-sweet variation.
Storage: Cool completely before storing in an airtight container to maintain crunch.
Cleanup Tip: Use a slow cooker liner or spray generously with non-stick cooking spray.
