Pumpkin pie spice uses:
Pumpkin spice is one of those things that I could add to basically anything, and would not complain. You can use this to make pumpkin cake, pumpkin spice coffee or other drinks, pumpkin spiced frosting, spiced cupcakes, spiced muffins, and (of course) PUMPKIN PIE! There are so many different uses for pumpkin spice, and it's one of the easiest way to add a kick of fall flavor to any recipe!
Pumpkin pie spice storage:
Spices never really expire. They just eventually lose their flavor. So depending on how fresh the spices that go into this recipe are, this pumpkin pie spice should keep for about 2 to 3 YEARS! A good tell for if your spice is no good is smell: it should have a strong, spicy aroma.
