I decided to give these little treats a try. After I finished them, my mom was so excited because her grandmother used to always make them. I took them to my mom’s house and she got out the old antique candy dish our Grandma Thompson used for her cinnamon sugar pecans. I know it warmed my mama’s heart to have these treats sitting in that dish.
These are yummy! I wanted to share this recipe if not for anyone else at least for my mom.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Pecan halves
- Egg white
- Water
- Vanilla extract
- Sugar
- Cinnamon
- Salt
Preheat your oven to 250 degrees and spray a baking sheet down with cooking spray.
Mix the sugar, cinnamon, and salt into a large Ziplock bag.
Whisk together the egg white, water, and vanilla into a large bowl. Throw the pecans in and stir until the mixture is covering all the pecans.
Pour the pecans into the Ziplock bag and shake until the pecans are covered. Spread them out onto the greased baking sheet. Bake them for one hour — taking them out to stir every 20 minutes.

Thank you so much for posting this recipe. I tasted some of the Cinnamon Sugar Pecans that were in the Christmas basket that you made and I believe they were some of the best spiced pecans I have eaten. I wanted to try making them and now I can.
Oh good! I’m so glad you liked them!
