Of all the dessert recipes I have made, both of my kids will claim that my apple pie is their absolute favorite. I usually shake a little of this and a little of that into the sliced apples, testing a slice here and there to get the spices just right.

However, making your own homemade Apple Pie Spice makes preparing all of your favorite apple recipes, even easier. Rather than pulling out multiple jars of spices, you just need one.

Not only can you use this recipe for apple pie, but you can use an equal amount in any apple recipe that calls for a combination of spices like cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice. Try it in our recipe for Apple Pie Overnight Oats or Apple Crostata with Crisp Topping.

Why This Recipe Works

This is a super quick and easy recipe to make that only requires 3 ingredients that you can easily adapt to suite your own tastes, if needed.

It saves money. You don’t have to run out and buy yet another spice jar.

It’s very flavorful and has an endless amount of uses.
