    cardamom ginger apple pie filling

    We've been going apple picking every fall for the past few years and naturally we try to make an apple pie afterwards! So I've been experimenting with my apple pie fillings every year. This year, I made this cardamom ginger apple pie filling.

    It is such a perfectly balanced and delicious pie filling that I may not play around with the recipe anymore! This filling is sweet, warm from the spices and tart from the apples. Naturally, the apple pie did not last long with both kids looking for seconds!

    How to make homemade apple pie filling

    For homemade apple pies, I prefer to chop the apples pretty small and I like par cook the apples with the spices. I really like the texture of the filling with this method. Plus the added bonus is that the leftover apple pie filling is ready to be used as a topping for other desserts or breakfasts (warmed over vanilla ice cream or in place of maple syrup on pancakes!)

    Did you know that the spices that make this apple pie filling recipe so amazing are basically the same ones that will your favorite cup of chai?

    Serve your cardamom ginger apple pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. And don't forget a nice piping hot cup of masala chai!
