3. In a separate bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
4. Pour the cinnamon sugar mixture over the pecans and toss until all pecans are fully coated.
5. Spray the slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray and pour in the pecan mixture.
6. Cover and cook on low for 3 hours, stirring every 30 minutes.
7. In the final 30 minutes of cooking, stir in the 1/4 cup of water to help create a crunchy outer shell on the pecans.

9. Once cooled, the candied pecans are ready to serve, store, or gift.
Notes
I used a 6-quart crock pot for this recipe.
Be sure to stir every 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Store any leftover candied pecans in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
