Ingredients

1 egg white
4 teaspoons maple syrup
1 cup raw cashews or almonds
1 cups raw pecan halves or walnuts
1 cup pumpkin seeds
⅓ cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
¼ teaspoon salt
3 cups cinnamon Chex
2 cups cinnamon apple chips or dehydrated apples*
⅔ cup dried cranberries

Instructions

PREPARE: Preheat oven to 350˚F and adjust the oven rack to the middle position. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
SEASON THE NUTS: In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg white and syrup until it looks a bit foamy. Add the nuts to the egg mixture and toss to evenly coat the nuts.
In a separate, smaller bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the nuts and toss to coat.
ROAST THE NUTS: Spread the seasoned nuts on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 18-20 minutes, turning halfway through baking. Allow the nuts to cool for 15 minutes.
COMBINE REMAINING INGREDIENTS: In a large bowl, combine the cereal, apple chips and cranberries. Once the nuts have cooled, add them as well. Gently fold all the ingredients together.
STORE OR SERVE: Serve right away or store for up to 10 days in an airtight container.
