Candied Cinnamon Sugar Almonds Recipes

CANDIED ALMONDS

Steps:

• Combine the water, sugar, and cinnamon in a saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil; add the almonds. Cook and stir the mixture until the liquid evaporates and leaves a syrup-like coating on the almonds. Pour the almonds onto a baking sheet lined with waxed paper. Separate almonds using forks. Allow to cool about 15 minutes.

CANDIED CINNAMON & SUGAR ALMONDS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Line a large (11X17-inch) rimmed baking sheet with foil and lightly spray with cooking spray.
• In a large bowl, beat the egg white until stiff peaks form. Add the water and vanilla and beat again until stiff. Add the almonds to the mixture and stir gently to coat the almonds with the egg white mixture. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, salt and cinnamon. Add this mixture to the almonds and stir gently to mix well.
• Pour the almonds out onto the prepared baking sheet and carefully spread them out into a somewhat even layer. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about an hour, stirring/flipping every 15 minutes, until the almonds look and feel dry. To check to see if the almonds were done, I carefully picked one up in my fingers and when I pressed around it, I didn't get any wet sugar on my hands. The coating on the almond felt hard and crunchy. Cool completely before serving or packaging.

SLOW COOKER CINNAMON-SUGAR CANDIED ALMONDS

Steps:

• Spray a slow cooker with nonstick spray.
• Combine sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl with a whisk. Combine egg white and vanilla in another large bowl, and whisk until frothy. Pour almonds into the egg mixture and toss until thoroughly coated. Transfer to the sugar mixture and toss to coat. Empty everything into the slow cooker.
• Cook on Low for 3 to 3 1/2 hours, stirring every 20 minutes. After a couple of hours your house will start smelling good.
• After 3 hours pour in 2 tablespoons water and stir well. If almonds look very dry, add 1 more tablespoon water to create a crunchy coating. Cook for 20 to 30 minutes more.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour almonds onto the sheet and separate any almonds that are stuck together. Allow to cool slightly to harden before serving.
