For years, when I saw a recipe calling for Apple Pie Spice or Pumpkin Pie Spice, I'd pass it over. Either that, or I'd use the 9 year old jar in the back of the cabinet. Not good.
Well, making Apple Pie Spice and Pumpkin Pie Spice at home isn't exactly rocket science, and chances are these spices are already hiding in your kitchen. No more running to the store to buy pumpkin pie spice for one recipe a year!
Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice
(makes 1 teaspoon)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ginger
1/8 tsp nutmeg (freshly grated, if possible)
1/8 tsp allspice
Homemade Apple Pie Spice
