Apple Pie Spice
Description
The Apple Pie Spice recipe combines ground cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ginger, and cardamom in measured amounts to create a balanced spice blend commonly used in apple pies and other fall-flavored dishes. The blend’s warmth and subtle complexity come from the blend of aromatic spices chosen.
The spices can be mixed together in any bowl and stored in a jar for convenient use. Adjusting the proportions allows tailoring the blend to personal preferences, especially with fresh versus ground spices, as fresh nutmeg tends to be stronger.
This homemade spice mix saves having to purchase multiple spices separately and blends the key flavors of classic apple pie seasoning into one easily used component. It’s ideal for spicing baked goods, oatmeal, or beverages.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cardamom
Instructions
- Combine spices in a small bowl, mix well to combine. Store in a small jar or spice container.
Notes
- Customize the spice amounts to your preference; precise measurements are not required.
- If using freshly grated nutmeg, reduce the quantity because it has a stronger flavor than ground nutmeg.
- Store the blend in a tightly sealed container to maintain freshness, and use within a few months for best flavor.
