Originally used as the main ingredient in making pumpkin pie, this combination of spices have become the best in autumnal cuisine. I had no regrets using the Pumpkin Pie Spice mix in my Chicken and Pear Salad recipe.

What is Pumpkin Pie Spice Blend?

Also known as Pumpkin Spice, this is a combination of four ingredients- Cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger. This combination has become the highlight of cozy fall recipes. It is used in so many sweet recipes such as;

Pumpkin Spice soft sugar cookies

Pumpkin Pie Spice latte

Pumpkin Pie Spice bread

Pumpkin Pie Spice cheesecake

The Classic Pumpkin Pie etc

Why Chicken breasts?

Plausibly, the most popular part of a chicken you can buy are the breasts. It is the leanest part of the chicken and easy to cook. Hence, the perfect cut of poultry for this recipe.

Applesauce Vinaigrette

This salad dressing deserves it's own post. The addition of applesauce makes for a rich and flavorful salad dressing. Add some seasonings you like to make it your own.
