What Can I Use This Spice Blend For?
Of course this recipe can be used for the ever popular holiday classic – pumpkin pie, but I don’t think this is a one use spice blend, no no! This aromatic blend can be used in a variety of yummy pumpkin dishes.
What’s The Difference Between Apple Pie Spice and Pumpkin Pie Spice?
These spice blends both typically contain a mixture of allspice and other spices that are similar in flavor. Pumpkin pie spice usually blends allspice with cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves, whereas, apple pie spice is usually heavier on the cinnamon, with hints of allspice and nutmeg.
