Effects on Your Baking

Pumpkin pie spice is predominantly cinnamon with smaller amounts of ginger, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves mixed in. The result is a more complex, warming spice blend rather than pure cinnamon. In cinnamon-forward recipes like snickerdoodles, this adds unwanted complexity. In spice cakes and muffins, it's actually an enhancement.
