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.
