Tips:

Use a variety of apples for the best flavor. A mix of sweet, tart, and tangy apples will create a complex and delicious potpourri.
Be sure to slice the apples thinly so that they will dry quickly.
If you don't have a dehydrator, you can dry the apples in the oven at a low temperature (150-170°F) for several hours.
Once the apples are dry, store them in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.
To make the potpourri, combine the dried apples with the other ingredients in a bowl.
Place the potpourri in a simmering pot or small crockpot on low heat.
The potpourri will release a wonderful aroma as it simmers.
You can also use the potpourri to scent your home by placing it in a bowl or sachet.

Apple pie spice potpourri is a wonderful way to bring the warm and inviting scent of apple pie into your home. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed for weeks or even months.
