Recipes - Pumpkin Spice / Cinnful Dessert Blend

Warm Party Punch

Among one of my first blends, I have had years to craft fun recipes using Cinnful Dessert / Pumpkin Spice Blend.  Back in 2011 I shared this recipe made with this great cinnamon and spice blend.  It is perfect on a cool fall or winter evening.

Add the spice mix and sugar to the cider and juice.  Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Add fruit slices and simmer slowly for 30 minutes.  Strain.  Serve steaming hot in mugs .

Cinnfully Roasted Nuts

Another recipe we have been sharing for a great while, it is our go to for snack and party nibbles all year, but especially in the fall. If you need to avoid peanuts, omit them from the recipe and increase the other nuts to 1 cup each and make the recipe as listed.

Combine the nuts.  Mix together the egg and water and toss with the nut mixture.  Combine the sugar, Cinnfull Dessert/ Pumpkin Pie Spice and salt. The toss that with the nuts until they are well coated.  Spread nuts in a single layer on a lightly greased cookie sheet.  Bake at 300 degrees F for 20 to 25 minutes.  Break up any large clusters and allow to cool.

Apple Bread

BREAD:

  • 4 cups apples, peeled, cored and cut up (4 to 5 apples)
  • 4 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. almond extract
  • 2 tsp. Backyard Patch Cinnful Dessert Blend
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups white sugar

TOPPING:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Lightly grease two 9 x 5" bread loaf pans.  Set aside.  Peel, core and slice apples  Cut into good size chunks (about 1").  In a large bowl, beat the eggs with an electric mixer until fluffy.  Add the oil and beat.  Add the vanilla and almond extracts, baking soda, salt and Backyard Patch Cinnful Dessert / Pumpkin Spice Blend.  Beat until well mixed.  Add the flour and sugar and blend on low until mixed.  Then blend on high until mixture is smooth.  The batter will be thick.  Fold in the apples and mix by hand until well coated.  Divide the mixture between the two pans.  To prepare the topping combine flour, sugar, and Backyard Patch Cinnful Dessert / Pumpkin Spice Blend, then cut in butter until well mixed and crumbly.  Sprinkle evenly over both loaves.  Bake for about 1 hour on center oven rack.  Loaf should feel fairly firm when touched in center.  Cool five minutes before removing from pan.
