Cinnamon Sugar Coated Pecans

I haven't tried it yet, but I assume you can use this recipe on plain almonds as well. these are very addicting, and a more expensive gift, but so yummy! I also think there is plenty of this mix you can add another 1/2 pound more of pecans and it would still go a long way.

1 pound bag pecan halves
1 egg white
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2-3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
a dash or so of nutmeg

preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk or beat egg whites until frothy and add then add the pecans to the egg whites to coat. Mix remaining ingredients and pour over pecans and stir to coat. Spread nuts on cookie sheet lined with Foil to make a single layer. Bake for 20 minutes turning once. Cool and store in an airtight container. Can be frozen, or kept in refrigerator.
