Scrumptious Swedish Apple Pie

Alskann's Note:

This doesn't have the typical pie crusts that Americans are used to. Instead, it is more like a coffee cake or cobbler. The batter is mixed with the apples and the whole mixture is baked in a pie plate. Much easier than a traditional crusted pie, and a nice change of pace with a delicious topping.

the title describes this perfectly- it was delicious and easy to make. we love cardamom and it was perfect with the granny smith apples. my batter was loose actually, i used 8 oz of eggbeater whites and the cooking time was right on. this is a keeper.
