Pumpkin Pie Spice
Quite some time ago, I was doing some fall baking. My recipe called for pumpkin pie spice, so I dutifully went to the store and bought pumpkin pie spice.
Of course, when I was in the midst of baking I noticed that pumpkin pie spice smelled a lot like some of the other spices I used regularly.
I instantly wondered what is in pumpkin pie spice?
When I looked at the label, I saw cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and allspice. Hmmm… I had all of those things on hand already.
Why, then, would I need to buy pumpkin pie spice if I already had all of the spices in my pantry? Why indeed.
It is crazy to think I have been spending several dollars for a little tiny bottle of this spice mix that hardly lasts any time at all! I can make so much of this at home for just a fraction of the cost.

So… I made homemade pumpkin pie spice.
This substitute for pumpkin pie spice is amazing!
After trying several different combinations of spices, I finally found a mixture that was very much like “the real deal”. No need to spend several dollars per jar on this stuff at the grocery store!
