Impossible Cardamom Apple Pie

Michelle harvested some apples from her apple tree and Chris also brought some apples to share at the South Arm Cooking Club Seniors. Michelle came up with this simple apple pie recipe with a twist, i.e. using cardamon instead of cinnamon which is usually associated with apple pie.

Apple is the original superfood which is rich in phytochemicals which have health benefits to cancer, cardiovascular disease, asthma, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, weight management and bone health. There goes the old saying “an apple a day keeps the doctor away”.

Michelle served this Impossible Cardamom Apple Pie with some homemade vanilla ice-cream.

Ingredients

• 3 to 4 apples
• 1/4 teaspoon cardamon (or cinnamon)
• 3/4 cup butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 egg
• 1 cup unbleached flour
