Make sure to make the homemade apple pie spice!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Apple pie in a bite-sized form ... delicious! I highly suggest making the homemade apple pie spice. The combination of flavors is great. The cardamom has a strong, spicy flavor that works well with the cinnamon and nutmeg. The pies on their own are delicious with the crunchy gingerbread cookie crust. But drizzle the caramel sauce on top and no one will be able to resist these adorable apple pies. The caramel sauce is going to be a staple in your fridge. Test Kitchen Avatar The Test Kitchen
