Tips: 

1. As alway make sure you have clean dry utensils
2. Apple Pie Spice is a spice you can usually only find around the holidays. If you can't find this in your local grocery store you may combine cinnamon and nutmeg
3. Here in Louisiana I can always find Mexican Vanilla at a local farmer's market or speciality food store or a 100% guarantee is always Williams-Sonoma or Sur La Table
