Description
This easy Homemade Apple Pie Spice Recipe is made using real apples and has such great fall flavor! Use it in baked goods, on toast, in oatmeal, hot chocolate and so much more! All you need is a bag of dried apple chips, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (3.4 oz) bag baked apple chips (or similar sized)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions
- Open your bag of dried apples and add them all to a high powered blender. You can probably use a food processor for this recipe, but it may not ground the apples up into a fine powder quite like a vitamix blender, or something similar, would do.
- Turn the blender on low and slowly turn up to high speed. It should take about 30 seconds or so to completely blend the apples into a fine powder. You will want to use a top on the blender because there will be a lot of small pieces, kinda like dust, that will be produced by blending the dried apples. Once the blender is turned off and let everything settle for a minute or so before removing the lid.
- Next, pour the apple spice mixture into a jar or bowl. Add in the cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves and mix well until everything is combined. You can use this apple pie spice immediately or store in an airtight container for about 6 weeks.
- The apple mixture will clump together, naturally, so you will probably need to give it a good mix before using, if you’ve been storing it for a little while. The clumps should easily break apart and form a powdery spice blend again after mixing together. Just make sure you store it in an airtight container. If you’re really having issues with the clumping, add it back to the blender and blend it for a few seconds.
Notes
You can add as much cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves to this spice mixture as you like! Or, you can omit the spices and just use the blended dried apple mixture as is.
