Candied Mixed Nuts and Cranberry Mix

Ingredients

2 cups unsalted cashews
2 cups coarsely chopped walnuts
2 cups whole pecans
1 cup coconut sugar, or brown sugar
1-1/2 tsp. apple pie spice
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
2 large egg whites
1 cup dried cranberries

Instructions

Preheat oven to 300F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine nuts. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, beat egg white with a whisk until foamy. Add sugar, spices, and salt.
Pour egg white-sugar mixture over nuts. Gently fold until nuts are evenly coated. Divide nuts between prepared baking sheets.
Bake candied nuts at 300F for 30 minutes or until golden brown, stirring once every 15 minutes.
