Pumpkin Pie Spice

1/8 tsp. nutmeg

Makes 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice. (note: 3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon)

Lyn's notes: This is very easy to make and is typically a hit at parties during this time of year. I usually serve this with Honeycrisp apples and Anna's Ginger Cookies - they are Swedish and therefore can be found super-cheap at IKEA. Otherwise, many grocery stores carry them.
