Notes

Check your spices. It's essential to verify the freshness of your ground spices by inspecting their expiration dates and taking a moment to assess their aroma; since spices diminish in potency as time passes, if they no longer contribute to the flavor profile of your dishes, they're not worth incorporating.

Substitute pumpkin pie spice. Many pumpkin recipes will use the spices that are in pumpkin spice spice. You can easily swap those spices for your own homemade pumpkin pie spice by totaling the amount needed and using that amount of your spice blend. For example, my Maple Pumpkin Pie uses 1 1/2 teaspoons of spices and you could substitute this pumpkin spice blend instead.

1 tablespoon of pumpkin pie spice. To make only 1 tablespoon you will need 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger, 1/8 teaspoon of ground cloves, and allspice.
