Servings 24
Ingredients
- 1½ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1½ tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 2 egg whites
- 3 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 cups almonds
- 2 cups cashews
- 2 cups pecans
Instructions
- Spray the slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, stir together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg whites and vanilla until slightly frothy.
- Add all the nuts to the slow cooker. Pour the egg white mixture over them and stir until the nuts are fully coated.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the nuts and stir again until everything is well coated. Cover and cook on low for 3 hours, stirring every 20 minutes.
- When 20 minutes of cook time remain, pour 1/4 cup warm water into the slow cooker and stir.
- When the cooking time is complete, spread the nuts onto a parchment-lined or silicone-lined baking sheet and let them cool until dry.
Notes
- Be sure to use the parchment paper, waxed paper, or silicone mat when dumping the nuts out to cool to avoid them sticking to your pan.
