• Meanwhile, combine egg whites, sugar, and salt in the heatproof bowl of a stand mixer set over a pan of simmering water. Whisk constantly by hand until mixture is warm to the touch and sugar has dissolved (the mixture should feel completely smooth when rubbed between your fingertips).
• Attach the bowl to a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Starting on low and gradually increasing to medium-high speed, whisk until stiff, but not dry, peaks form. Continue mixing until meringue is fluffy and glossy and completely cool (test by touching the bottom of the bowl), 10-15 minutes. Add vanilla and pumpkin pie spice and mix on low just until combined. Transfer meringue to a disposable piping bag fitted with a 1A Wilton decorating tip and set aside.
