    pumpkin pie spice ingredients

    You’ll likely have all or most of these spices in your pantry already. Whether you grind these spices yourself or use any store-bought brand there isn’t a wrong answer.

    Find more tips for grinding your own spices in my popular Christmas spice post.

    Why buy pumpkin spice, when you can make your own blend right at home? If you have these spices already then you can also make other popular blends like Apple Pie Spice, Gingerbread Spice, or even Chai Spice.

    See the recipe below for the full list of ingredients and quantities.

    Storage Recommendations

    Store your pumpkin pie spice the same way you would store your other kitchen spices, in a spice cupboard.

    • Sealed tightly in an airtight container in a cool dark place out of direct sunlight.

    When sealed properly you're homemade spices should last years. Store in the freezer for even longer storage. This will ensure your spice blend stays fresh and fragrant for as long as possible.

    Use a funnel – Don’t let any of those precious spice particles escape your container, a funnel is a good way to keep your space clean.

    Choosing a container – Opt for a larger container rather than a smaller one. Recycle and reuse an already empty and clean spice container.

    This recipe makes 8 tablespoons, enough to fill a 6-8 oz spice jar. Feel free to half or double the recipe depending on the demand for pumpkin spice baked goods you're making.

    Use freshly ground ingredients for the freshest flavor. Find more with my guide on Popular Christmas Spices.

    Recipe FAQs

    WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN APPLE PIE SPICE AND PUMPKIN PIE SPICE?

    While both of these spice blends are full of flavor and a lot of the same ingredients they do vary. Apple pie spice will contain cardamom, and pumpkin pie spice contains ground cloves. Those two spices being the only difference, they’ll both contain cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice just in different quantities.
