Equipment

- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- I like to give my slow cooker 'crock' a quick spray of nonstick spray. Combine together the nuts, sugar alternative, butter, cinnamon, extract and any additional seasonings in the slow cooker. Stir this well to fully cover the nuts with all of the ingredients.
- Set the slow cooker on high and slow cook for two hours. You will need to stir the nuts every thirty minutes to make sure that they cook evenly and for the ingredients to to cover evenly especially as the butter melts. TIP: Watch and stir the pecans while they are cooking to prevent burning.
- Meanwhile, prep a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Transfer the slow cooked nuts to the prepped baking sheet, spreading them out as evenly as possible. Then allow the nuts to cool before storing, serving, or eating
Recipe Notes
I mentioned that for best results, you should use pecan halves that are raw . However, you could use another kind of nut with or instead of pecans. I like walnut halves for this recipe.
