Apple Pie Spice Recipe

Forget expensive store-bought spice mixes that are full of fillers and try this homemade Apple Pie Spice Recipe– it’s the quintessential flavors of Fall! You'll want to use it in all your apple recipes.

I love every single thing about Fall in New England (except that it leads to winter).  The weather is perfect with cool crisp mornings and warm sunny afternoons.  And the flavors of Fall just can't be beat - apples, pumpkins and lots of cinnamon! It's so simple and makes a wonderful gift, too!

Apple Pie Spice is one of those things that is great to have on hand for seasoning all kinds of delicious goodies. I love baking with fresh apples and also applesauce, and this is the great addition for that tasty apple flavor.

While you can purchase pre-made mixes from your local grocery store, they're really overpriced. You can buy good quality spices and make your own mixes in just a few minutes.

🧂 Ingredients

These are the spices I use to make my own apple pie spice mix:

• ground cinnamon
• all spice
• nutmeg (I prefer to purchase whole nutmegs and grate it myself but store-bought ground nutmeg is good also.)
• ground ginger
• cardamom

Mix the ingredients together gently so you don't end up with a mushroom cloud of spices in your face!

⏲️ Storage

To keep your apple pie spice mix fresh, store it in an airtight container.

I give them as a gift with some fresh apples and one of my recipe cards during the holiday season. The rest fits nicely into an airtight jar like these small spice containers.

Notes

💭 Frequently Asked Questions

* Is apple pie spice the same as pumpkin pie spice?

Pumpkin pie spice and apple pie spice are similar, but not exactly the same.  They both contain cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, but pumpkin pie spice also includes cloves and does not include cardamom or allspice.

* What is the flavor of cardamom?

Cardamom has a deep warm flavor similar to cinnamon. It can be quite overpowering so use cardamom sparingly.

• What is the flavor of ground ginger?

Ground ginger pairs well with nutmeg and cardamom because it's a warm spice that has a lemony hint.
