Begin by lining a sheet pan with parchment paper; this will prevent the candied cashews from sticking. Set the prepared pan aside where it’s easily accessible.

In a skillet over medium heat, combine the raw cashews, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cloves, and grated nutmeg. Stir the mixture well to ensure that all the cashews are thoroughly coated.

Bring the mixture to a low simmer while stirring continuously to prevent scorching. Cook for about 5–7 minutes, watching closely as the maple syrup thickens and begins to crystalize on the nuts.

Once the Maple Spice Candied Cashews are done simmering, promptly remove the skillet from the heat. Carefully spread the nuts in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan.
