Ingredients:
1/2 C unsweetened cocoa powder
pinch of salt
1/2 C sugar, divided
3 large egg whites
1/8 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 Tbsp confectioners sugar
Ingredients:
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup applesauce
1/4 cup canola oil

Directions:
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. 
Line 2 baking sheets with foil.
In a small bowl, sift together cocoa, salt, and 1/4 C of the sugar.
In large bowl, with electric mixer at medium-low speed, beat egg  whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form.  Beat in remaining  1/4 C sugar, 1/2 Tbsp at a time, until meringue is glossy and stiff  peaks form. Fold in cocoa mixture and vanilla extract.
