Why make your own apple pie spice seasoning blend?
I love a quick-grab packet or jar as much as the next gal, but there really is something to be said for making your own spice blends!
- Adjust the flavor to your tastes.
- Gluten free.
- Know exactly what’s in them.
- No additives, preservatives, fillers, colorings, or anti-caking agents.
- Money saving.
Preparation
Can you make spice blends ahead of time?
Absolutely! We typically make a large jar and use it over the course of several months.
How much homemade apple pie seasoning should I use?
This recipe is a 1:1 with store bought apple pie spice, so use it exactly as you would when using a commercially prepared blend.
When making pie, the ratio is 1½ teaspoons to 6 medium apples.
Storage and leftovers
How do you store homemade seasonings?
Spice blends should be stored in an airtight container in a cool dry environment (like an air conditioned house).
Do not store them in the refrigerator as they will condensate when you bring them out and it can cause clumping.
How long does DIY seasoning last?
Dried spice blends theoretically last forever, but will begin to lose flavor potency after about 6 months.
