Surprising Coffee & Spice Fusion for Autumn Baking Autumn baking often leans on cozy spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove, but this season's trend is taking a bold turn with the unexpected pairing of coffee and spice. Imagine a decadent pumpkin spice cake infused with a hint of roasted coffee, or a pecan pie crust that carries the warmth of a cinnamon bun's aroma-these creations blur the line between breakfast and dessert, coffee and kitchen. Enter Victor Allen's Coffee Autumn Favorites Variety Pack, a 96-count single-serve Keurig pod collection that transforms your morning brew into a flavor profile for baking. With options like Apple Crumb Donut, Pumpkin Spice, Pecan Pie, and Cinnamon Bun, each pod brings a distinct taste that could elevate everything from spice-infused coffee creams to baked goods. But when it comes to the spices themselves, two standout blends emerge: Sauer's Apple Pie Spice (1.00 oz) and McCormick Apple Pie Spice (1.12 oz). While Sauer's offers a compact, concentrated dose ideal for small batches or precise recipe adjustments, McCormick's broader 1.12 oz size caters to frequent bakers or those who appreciate a reliable, well-balanced blend. Both serve as anchors for traditional apple pie flavors, but the former's specificity might appeal to adventurous cooks seeking to experiment with subtle variations. Pairing these coffee and spice products opens a world of possibilities-think coffee-scented spice mixtures, infused fillings, or even baking with brewed coffee as a liquid base. Whether you're craving a single pod's convenience or a spice blend's versatility, autumn's culinary scene is ripe for creativity. Let the fusion begin.
