Pumpkin Pie Spice

Hello Friends! Autumn has fully arrived here on the homestead — the leaves are turning, the mornings are crisp, and it’s the perfect time for all things pumpkin. I found myself craving a slice of warm pumpkin pie tonight, only to realize I didn’t have any store-bought pumpkin pie spice on hand. But thankfully, I’ve been making my own simple blend for years, and I’m excited to share it with you today!

This homemade pumpkin pie spice is one of our favorite pantry staples. It comes together in just a few minutes using common spices, and it adds that cozy fall flavor to pies, muffins, lattes, and more. Once you try it, you may never go back to the store-bought kind again. 😊
