This is an essential spice blend to have on hand for fall and winter baking. Use it in any recipe that uses a combination of these spices. Pumpkin pie is the most obvious choice, but it's also a great spice blend to use in spiced cider or tea, sweet potato pies, and a variety of cakes and cookies.

Follow the formula below to make enough pumpkin pie spice for a recipe or make it in larger amounts to store in your pantry for fall baking.
