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. Already have an account? 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.
