I can guarantee that making your own apple pie spice mix is so much more delicious than a store bought version! This easy blend of cozy spices is great to whip up to keep on hand for apple desserts, pie filling, or whenever you want a little more than just cinnamon!
Hi hi! I am just popping in to share this apple pie spice mix recipe with you! I shared my pumpkin pie spice mix, and as I have been working on an apple pie filling recently I figured I needed an apple version too!
We can't get apple pie spice here in New Zealand so I always make my own, but I quickly realised that it is great being able to control exactly what flavours go in it, so you can mix and match with what you like, or add more or less of something if you would like a different blend.
What spices are in Apple Pie Spice?
We have the usual suspects here - mainly cinnamon, then some allspice, nutmeg, and cardamom. Like I said earlier you can leave things out or add them in depending on preference. My blend for example - some apple pie spices have ginger in them, I prefer to let the other spices shine, so I left it out. It is absolutely a you do you situation!

Hi, we don't have allspice where I live, how can I make it myself or use something to substitute it?
Erin Clarkson says
Hi, it's not a spice mix it is a spice of its own - are you confusing it with mixed spice? You can substitute it with a little more of the other spices 🙂
