In a large skillet or pan, combine the walnuts, syrup, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring continuously, until the maple syrup begins to caramelize and the walnuts are toasted.
4 cups walnuts, ¾ cup pure maple syrup, ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract, ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Transfer the hot walnuts to the prepared baking sheet and arrange in an even layer. Allow them to cool completely before serving.
