I distributed these as presents last year, and they were a tremendous success.

Ingredients:

1 pound pecans (or almonds)

1 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1 egg white

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons water

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, blend 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.

Prepare Egg White Mixture: In a separate large bowl, whip 1 egg white until frothy. Add 2 teaspoons each of water and vanilla extract, and mix thoroughly.

Coat the Pecans: Add 1 pound of pecans to the egg white mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Add Cinnamon-Sugar: Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the pecans and toss to coat thoroughly.

Bake: Spread the coated pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 1 hour at 250°F (120°C), stirring every 15 minutes.

Cool: Allow the pecans to cool completely on the baking sheet.

Store: Transfer the cooled cinnamon sugar pecans to an airtight container.

These Simple Cinnamon Sugar Pecans aren't just a treat; they're an entire experience. The enticing fragrance and delightful crunch make them an ideal snack for any occasion. Relish the process of creating them and the joy of sharing with loved ones.
