Cardamom Apple Pie (Gluten-Free)
cardamom apple pie
There is nothing like a warm Apple Pie on a crisp Autumn evening. The spices and sweetness that create the runny filling. Chai is my absolute favourite. Chai (or masala chai), is an Indian drink made by brewing tea with spices and herbs. I'm a spice lover, and if you are too this pie is right up your alley. A dash of nutmeg, cinnamon, and cardamom -- I love these intense flavours, and find myself craving it all autumn and winter.

What You'll Need To Know
For the Pastry Making the pastry dough is simple. Mix all the dry ingredients together, then add the other ingredients. Knead into a dough. Take half the dough and place between two pieces of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin or pizza roller, roll the dough into a large circle so that it'll fill a 9-inch pie pan. Peel off top parchment paper and carefully flip the rolled dough into the pie pan. Gently peel off the other piece of parchment paper and push down into the pie pan forming the pie crust. Fill up any holes or cracks with small pieces of dough. Trim the excess pastry. Take the remaining half of the dough and roll into a rough rectangle and cut into 8 one-inch wide strips. Place the dough into the refrigerator.
