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.

Apple pie spice is a staple in my kitchen during the fall. Thank you so much for this homemade recipe, Kelly. I will whipping up a batch here shortly!!

It is a fabulous idea! I had an urge to bake something calling for pumpkin pie spice and instead of buying, I totally just mixed up some of what I had. Who wants to spend more money?! : ) Apple pie spice mix is so smart, especially if you plan to not only make apple pie but also crisps and things right now. Enjoy this lovely Fall weather…hope it’s beautiful in your neck of the woods.

I love that you create so many easy from scratch recipes. I’m working on buying less premade food products. Do you think this yummy Apple blend would work in a smoothie? I hope you have a wonderful week, Kelly! xo
