It's time to dust off your little canister of pumpkin pie spice. But wait just a second: its possibilities stretch far beyond baking a pumpkin pie. We like to use it in beverages and take it to the savory side of things with vegetable dishes and simple fall meals.
Pumpkin pie spice, a delightful blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves, has a way of taking a rather benign recipe and warming it up immediately. Whether it's starting out the day with a homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte or capping an evening off with Maple and Squash Pumpkin Pie Popsicles, there's a whole world out there beyond pie.

yum! funny i just read this now... i'm eating oatmeal with some pumpkin spice thrown in :D
What are those muffins in the picture at the top, I didn't see the recipe below?
Those muffins look like a recipe I found in Martha Stewart's Every Day food--and they are GREAT.
I love sprinkling a little cinnamon in my coffee before brewing. I've been meaning to try pumpkin pie spice, but I'm a little afraid. Ginger in coffee? Anybody done it?
I've started putting a little in my oatmeal in the morning as well. It goes great with steel cut oats.
We never have to dust off our bottle - the boyfriend eats it liberally sprinkled on vanilla bean ice cream and/or apple sauce. In fact, I'm low on pumpkin pie/apple pie spice!
I always put some pumpkin pie spice in my pancake batter. Yum!
Ooh, I want the recipe for the muffins in the picture with the pepitas on top... not the cranberry crunch ones. Any chance we can get that recipe? Those muffins look so fluffy and pumpkin-y.
I just bought a popsicle mold. The pumpkin pie popsicles sound weird, but my 6-year-old might be into it. :) And I'm curious...
Pumpkin spice cream cheese!
Didn't use actual pumpkin pie spice, but it could definitely be substituted for the spices!

Hi all....that recipe is from my personal blog, A Sweet Spoonful. You can find them here:

While they don't necessarily call for pumpkin pie spice, you can certainly omit the list of spices and use it instead (I do now, actually). Enjoy them!
When I was a kid I would use it in place of cinnamon on toast and have pumpkin pie spice and sugar toast. It was yummy.
