Credit goes to Dawn for these Walnuts! I found this recipe on another website and I am posting this on this website because it's where I keep all my recipes and will want to make these again! I used them in a salad and everyone raved - they couldn't put their finger on what made the walnuts so good (it's the cinnamon).

Yield Makes one 9-inch crust

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/3 cup walnuts or slivered almonds, toasted
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons chilled solid vegetable shortening, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons (or more) ice water or chilled dark crème de cacao

Steps:

  • Blend flour, nuts, sugar, cinnamon and salt in processor until nuts are coarsely ground. Add chilled butter and vegetable shortening. Using on/off turns, process until coarse crumbs form. Add 2 tablespoons ice water or chilled crème de cacao. Process dough until small moist clumps form, adding more ice water by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap dough disk in plastic. Refrigerate until cold enough to roll out, about 30 minutes.
  • Roll out dough on floured work surface to 12-inch round. Transfer dough to 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Press dough into dish. Fold overhang under. Crimp edges decoratively. Cover and chill until cold, about 30 minutes. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Keep refrigerated.)

Tips:

  • Choose fresh walnuts: Fresh walnuts will give you the best flavor and texture. Look for walnuts that are plump and have a light brown color.
  • Toast the walnuts before using: Toasting the walnuts will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy. You can toast them in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes, or in a skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes.
  • Use a variety of spices: The spices you use in your crusted cinnamon walnuts will determine the overall flavor. You can use a simple combination of cinnamon and sugar, or you can add other spices such as nutmeg, ginger, or cardamom.
  • Don't overcook the walnuts: Overcooked walnuts will be tough and chewy. Cook them just until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Let the walnuts cool completely before serving: This will help them to set and become crispy.

Conclusion:

Crusted cinnamon walnuts are a delicious and versatile snack or topping. They can be enjoyed on their own, or added to yogurt, oatmeal, salads, or desserts. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect crusted cinnamon walnuts every time.
