Calories: 11kcal
Ingredients
- ¼ cup ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ teaspoon ground allspice
- ⅓ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Place the ¼ cup ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cardamom, 1 teaspoon ground cloves, ½ teaspoon ground allspice, and ⅓ teaspoon ground nutmeg in a bowl, then whisk well to combine.
Notes
- Use fresh spices. Since this recipe is all about the flavor of the individual spices, make sure your ground spices are fresh and fragrant. Older spices can taste flat or dusty. Spices should be discarded within a year of purchase!
- Adjust the blend to your taste. Cinnamon makes a lovely base, while nutmeg, ginger, and allspice add depth. If you prefer a gentler flavor, reduce the ginger or leave out the cloves.
- Mix thoroughly. Stir the spices together until they're evenly combined so each spoonful has a consistent flavor.
- Make a smaller amount first. If you're trying a new combination, mix just enough for one or two recipes before preparing a larger jar.
- Then make a bigger batch. This recipe is easy to double or triple, especially during apple season when you'll likely be using it often.
- Label the jar. Add the date and the name of the blend to your jar so you know what you've made and when (especially helpful when you have a jar of pumpkin spice blend in the pantry as well ... ask me how I know).
- Store properly. Keep apple pie spice blend in an airtight jar or container in a cool, dry pantry and use it within 1 year.
