I wanted to make something special for my sister and her DH and decided to make this. The crust went together easily and the recipe was easy to make and assemble. I loved the cheesecake filling with the apples and the taste of cardamon is one of my favorites, so this was a real good choice for me. It was really really delicious and both my sister and her DH gave it 5+ stars, so you know it's a winner! Thank you for sharing your recipe with us! Linda

This cheesecake was very easy to do, even my son of 3 years old helped me LOL I used cardamom only in the crust. In the apples, I used cinnamon. I reduced the sugar a little bit. I used cortland apples. Thanks Kim :) Made for 123 hit wonders
