These cinnamon-pecan slices are inspired by traditional German Nussecken, popular nut triangles that are baked all year round—and in our country, often mainly in winter. They combine crispy spelt dough, a thin layer of fruit jam, and a fragrant nut mixture with cinnamon. My version is lighter, with less sugar and fat, yet still warm, delicate, and perfectly addictive. Ideal with coffee, for weekend baking, or as a small edible gift.
