Out of apple pie spice? There’s no need to run to the store! You can make this easy apple pie spice recipe with just three ingredients you likely already have on hand.

What Is In Apple Pie Spice?

This simple apple pie spice recipe is a blend of three dried and ground spices: cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom.

Allspice and ginger are often used in other recipes — feel free to incorporate them here, if you like.

Apple Pie Spice vs. Pumpkin Pie Spice

Apple pie spice and pumpkin pie spice are quite similar. One can usually be used in place of the other using a 1:1 swap. The difference between the two blends is that pumpkin spice always features cloves, while apple pie spice usually doesn’t. Apple pie spice generally includes fewer ingredients.
