Apple Pie Spice Chex Mix

This recipe for Apple Pie Spice Chex Mix is a sweet and salty treat packed with traditional apple pie spices, pecans and crumbly oatmeal cookie pieces that will quickly become an autumn snacktime favorite. Thank you to General Mills Big G Cereals for teaming up with me for this post in honor of National Whole Grain Month!

Apple Pie Chex Mix Recipe

Now that it is September and fall is nearly here, we’re all bracing ourselves for pumpkin spice everything! But what about apple pie spice? A comforting blend of cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg… It’s enough to make your mouth start watering on the spot!

If you share my love for apple pie spice, I have a recipe to share with you today that I think will quickly become a go-to snacktime favorite this autumn.

Crunchy pecans, chewy oatmeal cookie pieces, fragrant spices and crispy cereal with whole grain come together in this oh-so-addicting Chex Mix that will have you reaching for handful after handful of this crunchy sweet and salty treat!

Apple Pie Chex Mix

Like any tasty Chex Mix recipe, the base of this recipe is Chex cereal and while I used Corn Chex because it is a personal favorite (and whole grain is the first ingredient), you can easily swap in your favorite flavor or use a combination of Chex cereals. I think Rice Chex, Cinnamon Chex and Corn Chex would make a fantastic trio!

Apple Pie Corn Chex Mix

All General Mills Big G Cereals contain whole grain as their first ingredient and since approximately 95 percent of Americans do not get enough whole grain in their diet, consider this Chex Mix a tasty way to eat whole grain and celebrate National Whole Grain Month this September!

Apple Pie Spice Chex Mix

And since apple pie spice is involved in this recipe, I won’t judge you if you decide to sprinkle this Chex Mix on top of a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream. Apple pie is best enjoyed a la mode, of course!

Enjoy!

    You read my mind, I was going to suggest topping ice cream or oatmeal with the mix! A baked apple would be a good option, too!

    I agree, apple pie is best topped with a (large) scoop of vanilla ice cream. Mm mmm.

    I was making apple pie roasted almonds the other day and actually had to look up the difference between apple pie spice and pumpkin pie spice so I could make them right 🙂 This looks delicious and I love the idea to use it as a topping. I can see it as part of the crumble in an apple crisp, too!

    This would be A+ stirred into some plain greek yogurt, I bet.

    I just made this to take to a football party, and am ridiculously excited about it. 🙂 I couldn’t find any soft oatmeal cookies, though, so I’m using the pepperidge farm caramel apple pie cookies… It smells delicious, and I’m hoping my friends think it’s a suitable substitute!
