Fantastic!
Omg! My house smells amazing. I tweaked the recipe a little. Added half a teaspoon of ginger and half a teaspoon of all spice…. MMM MMM good
Excellent! Thank you so much for posting!!
I halved this recipe bc I didn’t want to jump the gun… turns out, IT’S DELICIOUS!! Immediately after mixing you can smell the heavenly aroma and no you know everything is right in the world. I’m officially ready for Fall! Thank you 🙂
7.12.19 Made a cobbler today which needed apple pie spice, but when checking the pantry, I had none. That led me to do a search on this site that brought up this recipe with good reviews. Only three ingredients, all spices I always have on hand, so there is no reason to ever buy apple pie spice again. Save yourself some money, and give this one a try, it works.
Perfect!
Came across this last year, it is far more better with the Cardamom . I made a couple of pies last year. Using it this year as well.
Oh yes, definitely try this if you don’t have apple pie spice on hand!! It is super easy to make too:)
I love it. I made it to use in my apple cinnamon oatmeal.
Very helpful to find this recipe since I had never heard of Apple pie spice before and couldn’t find it in BC, Canada. The cardamom is expensive but goes a long way….. it’s worth the money.
This is great! I use it for different things like pies, oatmeal etc.
Made this a while ago for something and had leftover spice mix. Last night I juiced up some fresh apples and ginger. I normally spinkle cinnamon in it, but decided to put some of this in my Apple Spice Juice instead. WOW! It was amazing. Way better than just cinnamon. Thanks!
I had run out of “Apple Pie Spice” to put in my oatmeal and took the chance that I’d find the recipe for the spice on “Allrecipes”. Once again, I was not disappointed, found this one, took 1 minute to make, and let’s just say, I will no longer have to purchase a premixed apple pie spice ever again. This recipe is wonderfully perfect – thanks for posting it!
I love allrecipes because I know I can trust homecooks to help me prepare great meals. But I also love it because I know I can always find a substitute for when I’m out of certain ingredients. This apple pie spice is an example. I needed a teaspoon for some overnight apple pie oats but didn’t have the spice can in my rack. So, allrecipes to the rescue. Turned out perfectly!
Delicious! Could not find cardamom anywhere! So I added 1/2 tsp of allspice and decreased the nutmeg to just 1 tsp. wonderful in Crunchy Apple Pie Granola from this site.
This is great to go as is, but it also gave me a starting point to experiment with adding other spices. I have since added allspice, clove and ginger to this mix. I know can get my family to eat oatmeal for breakfast by adding this mix, craisins and nuts to it. I’ve used the mix in pies, cakes, baked apples, muffins, etc. It’s a keeper as is or tweaked to a family’s tastes. Thanks for the recipe!
Just perfect! I make oatmeal from quick oats for breakfast, and this is perfect flavoring without the calories! Thank you!
I was a little hesitant to buy cardamom just for this recipe, but I am so glad I did. I love this stuff! I use it in all my apple recipes, on oatmeal, and even tried it in banana bread. It is also fabulous with cranberries. Can’t wait to try it in some oatmeal cookies!
just right!
Perfect!
I use this same exact mix and I love it! Gotta give it 5 stars! This blend has been one of the few secrets in my wicked awesome apple pie that has people saying “wow! that’s good apple pie!” I add it to my apple-pie-knock-off oatmeal for a really tasty breakfast, too. Love, love, love cardamom!
