YUM-O! Terrific recipe! I used Granny Smith apples and they blended perfectly with the cinnamon, sugar, etc. Thanks for posting!!

Scrumptious! I didn't have any cardamom so I used ginger instead. Also, I have deep dish pie pans and next time would use 7-8 cups of apples instead of 6. I will definitely be making this again, DH love, love, loved it!
