    Apple Pie Spice

    Make your own apple pie spice at home in minutes! This blend is perfect for all kinds of desserts, breakfast and snacks. I love having a jar of this in my spice rack, especially in the fall. 

    If you like making your own spice mixes be sure to try Jamaican Jerk Seasoning, Sloppy Joe Spice Mix and French Fry Seasoning.

    Fall food

    It’s that time of year for the warm, spicy smells of fall baking. There is something about the smell of cinnamon that screams apples, pumpkins and everything fall.

    No need to spend extra on those pre-made spice blends for fall baking when you can make your own mix at home for pennies. One of my favorite things to make with apple pie spice is this easy homemade apple pie filling. 

    What is apple spice made of?

    This spice blend includes cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice. Some blends also include cardamom and ground ginger. If you would like to include these spice use can add 1/2 teaspoon each. 

    Plate with cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice.

    What is the difference between apple pie spice and pumpkin pie spice?

    There is just a slight difference between the two spice blends. Pumpkin pie spice includes clove and does not use allspice. I also love having a jar of this for all of those delicious pumpkin recipes!

    Recipes with apple pie spice

    There are so many ways to incorporate this apple pie spice blend, it’s also great to give away as a gift. Some of my favorite recipes you can use this mix in are:

    • Apple Cake
    • Apple Nut Blondies
    • Apple Oatmeal Cups
    • Grilled Apples

    I also love adding to pancake mix, muffins and even for snickerdoodle cookies!

    How to store

    Keep your homemade spice mix in a jar with a lid or an airtight container in a cool, dark place. This mix should last about a year depending on how old each spice was when opened.

    Recipe tips

    • Try and use fresh spices. Make sure to look at the date on the container before mixing.
    • Homemade spice mixes make wonderful gifts. Put them in a nice jar with a little twine or ribbon for a thoughtful gift. 
    • If you are making for a gift or need a larger amount, simply double or triple the recipe below. 

    What can be used in place of apple pie spice?

    Making your own spice mix at home allows us to adjust the amount of mix you make. So if you don’t want to buy a whole apple pie spice mix from the store, it’s easy to make the amount you need at home.

    If you don’t have all three spices, I would recommend using at least cinnamon and then either nutmeg or allspice. 

    More fall dessert recipes

    • Pumpkin cheesecake brownies – Brownie bites with pumpkin cheesecake swirl. 
    • Pumpkin chocolate chip bars – Pumpkin cookie bars filled with chocolate chips.
    • Butterscotch brownies – This is a family favorite.

      I’m going to make a batch of your apple pie spice this fall when our apples are ready to harvest. When we’re really organized we peel and cut the apples, toss them in spice, and vacuum seal them for pies and crumbles.

      Perfect timing for the upcoming Fall season. Why waste money buying spices when you can make them at home. Great idea!

      I actually prefer apple things to pumpkin in the fall. Nothing beats the smell of cinnamon and apples!
