1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup brown sugar

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 egg white

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup water

1. Spray the slow cooker with nonstick spray or lightly grease it.

2. In a bowl, whisk the egg white and vanilla until frothy.

4. In another bowl, mix granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.

5. Pour sugar mixture over coated pecans and toss until fully covered.

6. Place pecans into the slow cooker and spread them out.

7. Cook on LOW for 3 hours, stirring every 30–45 minutes to prevent burning.

Add a pinch of cayenne for a spicy-sweet twist.
