This is what I did.
 
I finally bought the stuff for the first time ever in October (Cinnamon Plus). I will never go back! It was so good. The Autumn Apple Cherry Crisp was delicious, but I wish I had had Granny Smith's because it was missing that tart flavor. I'm looking forward to a reason to make it again. I have to have company or a gathering of some sort because it's just too much for my family. I end up eating most of it.
 
I think mine ended up coming out the best the first time I did it. I prepped in advance because I made it for an open house, and to keep the apples from turning brown I tossed them in lemon juice. They ended up sitting with the lemon juice for a coule of hours, and I think the extra bit of tartness that created was just perfect!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I use as a substitute for Cinnamon Plus Spice Blend?

If you don't have Cinnamon Plus Spice Blend on hand, you can create a substitute by mixing equal parts of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. This combination will mimic the warm and sweet flavors of the original blend.

Can I use just ground cinnamon instead of Cinnamon Plus Spice Blend?

Yes, you can use ground cinnamon as a substitute, but keep in mind that it will lack the additional flavors from the other spices in the blend. If you want a closer match, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg and allspice along with the cinnamon.

Are there any other spice blends that can replace Cinnamon Plus Spice Blend?

Yes, you can use pumpkin pie spice or apple pie spice as alternatives, as they often contain similar spices. Just be aware that these blends may have additional flavors that could alter the final taste of your dish.

How much substitute should I use for Cinnamon Plus Spice Blend?

When substituting, use the same amount of your chosen spice blend or combination as the recipe calls for Cinnamon Plus Spice Blend. For example, if the recipe requires 1 tablespoon of Cinnamon Plus, use 1 tablespoon of your substitute mixture.

Can I make my own Cinnamon Plus Spice Blend at home?

Absolutely! You can create your own blend by combining 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, 1 teaspoon of ground allspice, and 1 teaspoon of ground ginger. Mix well and store in an airtight container for future use.
