Apple Pie Spice Mix (Whole30, Paleo)

By simply combining cinnamon, nutmeg and anise (or allspice) you can make your own Apple Pie Spice Mix for a fraction of the price.  You can double or triple this recipe since you will be using this Apple Pie Spice Mix in so many of your favourite dishes.

Ready to see how much money you can save by making this simple spice mix at home?

I did a little research online and I found the Primal Palate brand had a jar of Apple Pie Spice mix that was selling for $6.63/oz.  This company is all organic and all their spice mixes are Whole30 approved so I thought it would be the closest in comparison to my recipe.

Here is the cost per oz of each of the 3 spices that are used in my Apple Pie Spice mix recipe:

• Cinnamon - $0.29/oz
• Nutmeg - $0.73/oz
• Anise - $1.1/oz

So, compared to the Primal Palate, my Apple Pie Spice mix comes to $0.53/oz, a savings of over $6!!! If you were to use a pound of it in a year, this will save you over $96 a year!

I realize that you will not likely use an entire pound of Apple Pie Spice mix in a year but looking at the cost savings is a lot more dramatic when comparing store-bought vs. homemade.

Convinced yet?  If not, maybe the following reasons will help!

What to use Apple Pie Spice Mix on?

• use it when you make an apple pie
• sprinkle some on your oatmeal
• add it to your favourite hot beverage
• stir it into some nut butter for a nice added kick

• add it to a little oil and sprinkle it over some nuts before baking for a great holiday treat!
