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.
