DEEP DISH APPLE PEAR ORANGE SPICE PIE
I created this pie for my love of apple and orange spice. I added cranberries, and pears. The orange zest and cranberries give this pie a little tanginess. I am not a lover of very sweet pies. I like to taste my fruit. One pie is never enough at gatherings. I decided to make it in a large baking dish. This will feed a family with leftovers. It is also large enough for a holiday gathering. Why make 2 pies? You can make one huge pie. It is a big hit in my home. Enjoy!

The spices used in apple pie spice typically include cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and sometimes ginger. Cinnamon is the dominant spice in the blend and contributes to the warm, sweet flavor. Nutmeg has a slightly nutty and spicy flavor and adds depth to the blend. Allspice is often called the "spice of life" because it has a versatile flavor that combines clove, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Ginger adds a slight zest and a warm, comforting flavor to the blend.Homemade vs. Store-Bought
While apple pie spice can be bought pre-made in most grocery stores, it is easy to make at home.

Whether homemade or store-bought, apple pie spice is an essential ingredient to have on hand during the holiday season.Tip 1: Choose High-Quality Spices
When making apple pie spice, it's important to choose high-quality spices. Freshly ground spices will have more flavor and aroma, which will make your seasoning more flavorful. You can either buy whole spices and grind them yourself or buy pre-ground spices. If you choose to buy pre-ground spices, make sure they are not too old. Spices lose their flavor over time, so it's best to buy small amounts and use them quickly.Tip 2: Use the Right Ratio
The right ratio of spices is crucial to making a great apple pie spice blend. A typical ratio for apple pie spice is:- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
