Unfortunately, the built-in recipe calculator will not work with multiple recipes. Please bear with me as I work toward a solution. In the meantime, I have calculated out these for one pie or four. Simply double the first for two pies.

My Favorite Pumpkin Pie Spice: 

The ginger in this blend is a little more forward than many other Pumpkin Pie Spices, while cinnamon takes second chair. The final result is a pumpkin pie that’s still very familiar but has a subtle flavor that not only lets the pumpkin flavor shine through but will make those eating it take a little notice.

For one pie:

  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Multiplied by 4, Use 2 1/2 teaspoons plus 1/8 teaspoon per pie

  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 teaspoons salt

Classic Pumpkin Pie Spice:

A bit more highly spiced than Libby’s this one has more cinnamon and the addition of nutmeg. It’s got such a stand out flavor! This is deeper and darker!

For one pie:

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Multiplied by 4, use 3 1/4 teaspoons per pie.

  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 teaspoons salt

Libby’s Pumpkin Pie Spice:

This is the absolute classic Pumpkin Pie Spice, familiar to anyone who’s ever picked up a can of Libby’s for Thanksgiving since the 1950s. It’s heavier on the cinnamon and will give you that classic fine leather color to your pumpkin pie!

Mix for one pie:

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Multiplied by 4, use 2 1/4 teaspoons per pie.

  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
