Pumpkin Pie Spice



Have you ever started putting a recipe together only to find out that you are missing an ingredient? It is so frustrating! Well, Pumpkin Pie Spice is one of those ingredients that I have found myself without. But, You Can Make That! This is a great substitution that keeps you from having to run out to the store at the last minute; thus, saving you time and money. I like to double the recipe because I use it frequently in my Applesauce Breakfast Cake.

Pumpkin Pie Spice

1 Tbsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. ginger
½ tsp. cloves

Measure all ingredients into a small glass jar. Shake to combine. Use just like store bought pumpkin pie spice.

Frugal Tip: Store your homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice in an old jelly jar or in an old cinnamon container. And, be sure to label it with the contents.

  1. Great idea! Pumpkin pie spice can be very expensive if not bought "in season". If I am out I will just skip that seasoning and no one complains but it is probably better with it. Thanks for the recipe!

  2. You're right about it being expensive. I have been working on creating my own seasoning blends for a couple of years now, and I am having so much fun with it.
