Cinnamon Nuts Recipes

CINNAMON SPICED NUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In large bowl, combine all ingredients and stir until well combined.
• Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until crisp and golden, stirring once halfway through.
• Sample and sprinkle with additional sea salt, if needed.

CINNAMON PECANS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (160 C).
• Combine sugar, cinnamon and salt in small bowl.
• Whisk egg white in large bowl until frothy. Add pecans to egg white and toss well to coat.
• Add sugar mixture and toss carefully and thoroughly doing your best not to break the pecans.
• Spread pecans in a single layer on a large cookie sheet.
• Bake until toasted and crisp, about 20 minutes turning them over after the first 10 minutes ( take them out of oven and do this and arrange them neatly once again; this helps keep them from sticking to the pan after the 20 minutes).
• Using a spatula, immediately loosen pecans from cookie sheet and let cool.
• Put them in a large plastic container, cover and refrigerate, then you can fill a jar when you want to give them as a small gift!

OOEY-GOOEY CINNAMON BUNS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon sugar and yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes. Warm the milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles, then remove from heat. Mix in 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup butter and salt; stir until melted. Let cool until lukewarm.
• In a large bowl, combine the yeast mixture, milk mixture, eggs and 1 1/2 cup flour; stir well to combine. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
• Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
• While dough is rising, melt 3/4 cup butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in 3/4 cup brown sugar, whisking until smooth. Pour into greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Sprinkle bottom of pan with 1/2 cup pecans; set aside. Melt remaining butter; set aside. Combine remaining 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup pecans, and cinnamon; set aside.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, roll into an 18x14 inch rectangle. Brush with 2 tablespoons melted butter, leaving 1/2 inch border uncovered; sprinkle with brown sugar cinnamon mixture. Starting at long side, tightly roll up, pinching seam to seal. Brush with remaining 2 tablespoons butter. With serrated knife, cut into 15 pieces; place cut side down, in prepared pan. Cover and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in volume. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool in pan for 3 minutes, then invert onto serving platter. Scrape remaining filling from the pan onto the rolls.

CINNAMON NUTS

Steps:

• In a skillet, toast nuts slightly, tossing then so they won't burn.
• Remove from skillet.
• Melt butter in the same skillet.

• Break them apart.

CINNAMON ROASTED NUTS

Steps:

• If your nuts are salted, rinse them well, pat dry and place on a cookie sheet in a single layer in a warm (200F) oven. Turn oven OFF and leave to dry overnight. They must be totally dry before proceeding with the recipe. Otherwise, you'll have rubbery nuts.
• Whisk together water, sugar, vanilla and spices in a nonstick dutch oven.
• Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. It will form a syrup.
• Cook syrup until it spins a thread from end of spoon when spoon is lifted (about 6 - 7 minutes).
• Add the nuts. Stir to coat nuts with syrup. The nuts will clump together in a mass.
• Stir constantly until syrup evaporates and sugar crystallizes on the nut, about 10 minutes. Do not turn up the heat to try to speed it up - you'll just burn it. Keep stirring, they will begin to dry out and will separate.
• Pour out onto a wax paper lined baking sheet. Allow to cool completely. Store in zip top freezer bag.
• To clean the pan: Allow the pan to cool, then add cold water and bring to a boil. Cover and let simmer 10 minutes.
