How To Make Pumpkin Pie Spice
Before we dive into my favorite pumpkin desserts, I recommend you make your own pumpkin spice. This ingredient is used in almost all of my pumpkin desserts.
All you need to do is combine 3 tablespoons of cinnamon, 2 teaspoons of ginger, 1 teaspoon of nutmeg, and a ½ teaspoon each of cloves and allspice.
Once combined, place into a jar or container. You can also check out the full blog post here!
