Ingredients
  

For the Meringue

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by heating water in a medium saucepan to create a double boiler. Ensure the water is simmering gently.
  2. In the heatproof bowl, combine egg whites, pure maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Whisk gently until warm to the touch.
  3. Using an electric mixer, beat the warm mixture on high speed until glossy and stiff peaks form (about 3 minutes).
  4. Gently fold in the ground cinnamon with a spatula, being careful not to deflate the meringue.
  5. Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Transfer the meringue to a piping bag and pipe into desired shapes on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with nutmeg and cinnamon.
  7. Bake for 1.5 to 2 hours until completely dry to the touch, then turn off the oven and leave the door ajar for an additional hour.
  8. Once cooled, remove the meringues from the baking sheet and store in an airtight container.
