Caramel-Coated Spiced Nuts

I tried this recipe today and it turned out yummy. Normally, I just love plain nuts and they are probably better for you than these, but I am going to really enjoy just munching these.
2 egg white
1 teaspoon water
1 1/2 cups roasted salted almonds
1 1/2 cups pecan halves
1 cup whole salted cashews
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
3 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp. white pepper (I just did about 1/8-1/4 tsp. black pepper)
In a large mixing bowl, beat egg whites and water until foamy. Add the almonds, pecans, and cashews; stir gently to coat. Combine the brown sugar, pie spice, and pepper; add to nut mixture and stir genly to coat. Spread into a greased baking pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Cool. Store in an airtight container.
