  • Prep Time 10 minutes
  • Total Time 1 hour
  • Yield Makes 2 cups
    Serves 4

Ingredients

    • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
    • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
    • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • Coarse salt
    • 2 cups walnuts (6 ounces)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat. Stir in maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer (mixture should be frothy), about 3 minutes. Add walnuts, and toss to coat using a rubber spatula. Cook, stirring, until sauce is syrupy and bubbly, about 3 minutes.
  2. Transfer walnut mixture to a parchment-lined baking sheet, and spread into a single layer. Bake until walnuts are caramelized, about 10 minutes. Transfer sheet to a wire rack. Stir, and let stand until cool and hardened, about 30 minutes.
