Variations
I prefer the simple flavor of this spice mix. However, one of the great things about making your own apple pie spice mix is that you can customize it as you please! Feel free to include a dash of ground cloves or cardamom for extra depth and tang.
How to Store
It’s super important to store your spices in an airtight container for up to three years! You’ll know it has gone bad when it no longer has a strong aroma.
The reason for this is that air is going to take away the freshness faster than you can bend over and tie your shoes. When it comes to finding the perfect storage container for your apple spice mix, there are a few options that you can consider.
Save some of your old spice containers and clean them out well. Once they’re dry, add in this apple pie spice for a handy and simple solution.
The other easy option is to store this simple spice mixture in a small mason jar with a lid. You can easily use a spoon to get out the amount of spice that you need.
And the best part about this apple pie spice mixture? You don’t have to store it in the fridge! As long as you keep a lid on it and store it on your shelf, you’re not going to have any issues moving forward.
FAQS
The two are similar, but the biggest difference between the two recipes is that the pumpkin pie spice has cloves. Apple pie spice can as well, but it’s not a common ingredient in the recipe.
That just depends on the recipe. A tsp or two would add a lot of flavoring to your apple desserts!
This spice blend is the perfect way to add warm, sweet flavor to all your favorite recipes! Of course, it’s great in apple pie. However, I also love to add it to oatmeal, pancakes, French toast, apple cider, apple crisps, apple hand pies, ice cream, yogurt bowls, roasted pears, or even my morning coffee. The options are truly endless!
