Hi Bold Bakers!
Pumpkin Pie Spice is a beautiful marriage of spices that are used in both sweet and savory cooking. Generally made up of a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger and allspice it is a welcomed addition to any pumpkin dish especially around the holidays.
Let’s face it: when you start to see pumpkin-spiced everything, you know the holidays are just around the corner. There are certain things that trigger the holidays for me–crisp weather, darker evenings, and specific flavors. Spices like cinnamon, ginger, and allspice taste and smell like the holidays, and they signify happy times!
Fall is baking season. It is a time when fair-weather bakers dust off their cookbooks and start to get into the spirit of the season. We all indulge (and then some) in pies, cookies…desserts galore! Even as someone who bakes pretty much on a daily basis, I do tend to go all-in during the holidays, leaving no cookie unbaked uneaten! I commit to it. I know you want to do it too, so put on that apron, find your rolling pin and cookie cutters, and jump into the holiday season. There are so many wonderful recipes to make, so it’s time to get cracking.
Feel free to use this Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice in your baking in place of cinnamon. With the addition of the extra spices it will add more flavor and depth to your fall baking. It’s the mix of all of the spices that give you that warm holiday feeling inside.
Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice can be used in my Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake, Pumpkin Pie Egg Rolls and my Traditional Pumpkin Pie recipe. Also check out my whole section on Holidays baking to really get you in the mood.

Thank you so much for this chart Gemma! Also if you don’t mind, could you please put up a chart for apple pie spice as well? I feel that a lot of people ask for it but can never get it in stores.
Hi. From Nicaragua. If i dont find allspices, what can I use instead?
Hi Gemma! ????
My husband just bought a huge pumpkin. Thinking about making pumpkin pie (never done it before!), but I don’t have nutmeg to make the mix spice. Can you recommend a substitute?
Thanks alot!
What can I use instead of ground allspice. when making muffins, or even pie spice?
I have Vietnamese cinnamon and Indonesian cinnamon. Which one do you think has the best flavor for pumpkin pie spice?
Hi, Gemma what do you suggest to use to preserve that pumpkin pie spice if I want to save to long time? I will like something natural.
