Save money and a trip to the store by making your own DIY custom blend of Apple Pie Spice so you can make plenty of pies all season long!
I used to buy premixed Apple Pie Spice and Pumpkin Pie Spice (recipe coming soon) but ever since I started making my own a few years ago, I save myself some money and an extra trip to the store when a recipe calls for them.
Plus, by making your own spice blends, you can tweak the amounts and customize them to meet your taste.
If you love ginger or cardamom — just go for it and add a little more in.
It’s also great in any dessert that you want to add a little bit of warmth and depth to. Muffins, oatmeal, apple crisps, baked apples and so much more!
So the next time a recipe calls for Apple Pie Spice, you can make your own big batch to last you all season or just enough for that one recipe you’ve been dying to try 🙂
- 3 Tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- Whisk all the ingredients together in a small bowl.
- Store in a small, airtight container.
If you prefer more of one spice or less of another, feel free to adjust to your liking.

I love this! Thanks so much for sharing your recipe…so much better than store bought (of course!). I can imagine this sprinkled over my oatmeal or coffee in the morning!

I make this to put in my porridge. It makes a big difference and a little bit goes a long way. I am so excited for apple season!
Gayle @ Pumpkin 'N Spice -
I always buy apple pie spice and pumpkin pie spice, so I’m thrilled to see this recipe, Kelly! I never even thought to make my own before! I love baking with apple pie spice because of the delicious aroma, too. I’m sure it’s delicious and a lot better than the store bought kind!
Eva @ Eva Bakes -
I cheat and buy the store-bought stuff (it’s a good brand, I promise!). Once I run out, which I am sure to do this fall, I’ll need to use your recipe to make my own. Saving money is good! 🙂
Sarah @Whole and Heavenly Oven -
I use apple pie spice seriously SO often during the fall, I will definitely be turning to this recipe now instead of spending the big bucks to buy some! LOVE how ultra-easy this is, Kelly!
