Notes
- Use Saigon cinnamon if you can find it. The flavor difference over regular cinnamon is significant and it is worth buying in bulk if you bake often in the fall.
- Grate nutmeg fresh if you have a whole nutmeg and a microplane, but use slightly less since fresh is stronger than pre-ground.
- Store in glass rather than plastic to keep the spice oils from seeping into the container and to preserve the flavor longer.
- Make a double batch at the start of the season since this gets used up fast once apple baking season is in full swing.
