  5. Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 15 minutes.
  6. Reduce the heat to low, uncover the slow cooker, and continue cooking for 75-90 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the nuts are coated in a crisp, caramelized glaze. Transfer the nuts to a large bowl to cool.
  7. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of cayenne pepper (optional).
  8. Sift the spice mixture evenly over the cooled nuts, stirring gently to coat.
