"Spare time" means "extra time, more than is needed."
"We're planning to get to Badlands National Park by Wednesday. If we have a little time to spare, we might stop and visit the Corn Palace on the way."
On a car, there may be four tires on the wheels and a fifth tire in the trunk; the fifth tire is the "spare tire."
When I go on a camping trip, there are batteries in my flashlight, but I also bring spare batteries.
"Do we have enough ice cream for Thanksgiving dinner?" "Yes, we have enough and to spare."

Hi Alice,
Yes, when we say we have "something to spare", it means we have plenty of something and can give some of it to others.
Examples:
I have enough cash to spare if you want to buy some food.
I baked some extra pies and have some to spare.
Hope this helps.
Cheers, Lance
