Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams raw almonds
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 large egg white
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg white and vanilla extract until frothy. This will help the sugars and spices stick to the almonds.
Add the raw almonds to the bowl with the egg white mixture and stir until they are evenly coated.
In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
Pour the sugar mixture over the coated almonds and stir well until all the almonds are evenly coated with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Spray the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Place the coated almonds into the slow cooker and spread them out evenly.
Set the slow cooker to low and cook the almonds for about 3 hours. Stir the almonds every 20-30 minutes to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
In the last 20 minutes of cooking, add the water to the almonds and stir well. The water will help create a slightly glossy coating on the almonds as it evaporates.
Once the almonds are done cooking, transfer them to a lined baking sheet to cool completely. Spread them out so they don’t clump together as they harden.
Once cooled, enjoy your sweet and crunchy cinnamon sugar almonds! Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
