How to Make Candied Pecans and Walnuts

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of walnuts (or pecans, or a mix of both)
• 1 Tablespoon applesauce (you can substitute honey for applesauce)
• 1/3 cup sugar (you can substitute Stevia for sugar)
• 2 to 3 teaspoons of cinnamon

Directions:

1. Pre-heat the oven to 300 degrees.

2. Mix nuts and applesauce together in a bowl.

3. Mix cinnamon and sugar together in a different bowl.

4. Add cinnamon and sugar to nuts and applesauce making sure to coat the nuts well before baking.

5. Spread the mixture on a baking sheet in one layer.

6. Bake for 20 minutes.

As the nuts cool they will crackle. They might stick together so to prevent that separate them with a fork while they are cooling.
