Apple Pie Spice Recipe

Homemade Apple Pie Spice Ingredients:

Wanna boost your fall mood with something different? By making your own spice blends, you can customize the spices and their proportions according to your taste. Homemade apple pie spice is surprisingly simple to make. 

I bet all the ingredients are already present in your pantry. You need only five ground spices. Let’s know the ingredients in detail:

Ground Cinnamon:

Cinnamon is sweet and spicy with a unique woody aroma. It is used in both sweet and savory recipes to add warmth to the flavors. Use ¼ cup ground cinnamon in the recipe.

Ground Ginger:

Ground ginger is dried and powdered ginger. It has a milder flavor than fresh ginger. It is sweet and spicy to taste. Use 1 teaspoon of ground ginger in our homemade apple pie spice recipe.

Ground Cardamom:

Cardamom has a floral, sweet, peppery aroma and taste. It works its best with cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice to add depth to the flavors of any recipe. 1 ½ teaspoon of ground cardamom is needed in the recipe.

Ground Allspice:

Ground allspice tastes like a blend of cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg. It tastes bitter yet has a fruity aroma. Use 1 teaspoon ground allspice in the homemade spice blend recipe.

Ground Nutmeg:

Wanna add a warm and comforting vibe to your apple pie spice? Add 1 teaspoon of ground nutmeg. It is sweet and earthy with a subtle nutty flavor. 

How To Make Apple Pie Dry Mixes:

Our homemade apple pie spice recipe is simple yet has exquisite flavors. It’s not only best for pies, but also works well with crisps, muffins, pancakes, crumbles, oatmeal, granola etc. Or add it to your morning coffee, it’s good in every way. I love to sprinkle it over apple slices as a quick, yummy, healthy snack.

The secret behind authentic flavors in apple pie spice recipes is using the best quality freshly ground spices. Plus storing it conveniently away from air and moisture. Excited to explore the simple step-by-step directions? Let’s jump on.

Step 1:

In a small pan roast cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cardamom, and allspice on low heat for 5 minutes. Let them cool down.

Step 2:

Put the roasted whole spices into a grinder jar. Grind them into powder. Check if there are any lumps even out with your dry hands or a fork. Your homemade apple pie spice is ready. Use readily or store for later use.

Recipe Tips & Notes:

  • Don’t stress out about making exact measurements. Feel free to adjust spices according to your flavor preferences. 
  • You can easily double or triple the recipe if you want to make it ahead and use it all season long. Just increase the amount of the spices.
  • Use it to make apple crumb pie, apple pie bars, apple muffins, apple sauce, apple pancakes, and more.
  • Also, you can try it on your pumpkin recipes. It’s also good this way.
  • If using powdered nutmeg found in jars, use 2 teaspoons of it. Because freshly ground nutmeg has a stronger flavor and aroma than jarred ones.
  • Store it in a dry, airtight container away from light, heat, and moisture. It’ll remain usable for up to six months. But I recommend using it within 3 months. As spices start to lose flavor easily.
  • Our homemade apple spice blend is not freezer-friendly. Make it fresh and enjoy.
  • Allspice has a powerful flavor profile. It can easily change the game when added in more than needed. So, be careful about proportions while using it in the recipe. 
  • If you are allergic to any of the spices, skip that spice. 
  • As it has no added sugar so kids and patients can also enjoy it.
