- 1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cloves
- ¾ teaspoon ground cardamom
Instructions
- Measure the spices. Add the cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ginger, cloves, and cardamom to a small bowl. Level off each measuring spoon so the ratios stay accurate.4 tablespoons ground cinnamon, 1 tablespoon ground nutmeg, 1 tablespoon ground allspice, 1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger, ¾ teaspoon ground cardamom
- Whisk until combined. Use a small whisk or a fork to mix the spices together.
- Store in a small jar. Spoon the spice blend into an airtight jar or spice container. Label it and store in your spice cabinet for up to 6 months.
Notes
- Use fresh spices. Spices lose flavor over time, so for the best-tasting blend, use spices that are less than a year old. If a spice has lost its smell, it won't add much flavor.
- How much to use. Use this blend 1:1 in any recipe that calls for apple pie spice. If a recipe calls for cinnamon alone and you'd like a more complex flavor, swap in this blend for all or part of the cinnamon.
