Cinnamon Sugar Recipe
-
1/2 cup sugar
-
1 tablespoon cinnamon
Blend well, use to top hot buttered toast or use on coffee cakes, cookies, french toast, pancakes, and other desserts.....
Apple Pie Spice
-
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
1/4 teaspoons ground nutmeg
-
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
-
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
Combine all ingredients. If you make extra, store in an airtight container.
If at all possible, buy whole spices and grind your own as you need them. The flavor will be more potent. Purchase an inexpensive coffee grinder and keep it strictly for grinding spices. A good cleaning after each grind is a must.
Light, moisture and heat are the worst enemies of spices, so keep them in a tightly-sealed container in a cool, dark place. Although it may be more convenient, you should not store your spices near your stove or in open racks on the counter.
