1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon store-bought or homemade garam masala, recipe follows
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 pound green apples, cored and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
1 (6-inch thumb) fresh ginger, peeled, sliced into thin planks, then sliced again into thin matchsticks (about 1/2 cup)
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 large cinnamon sticks (if you have the kind you get at Indian stores, it's about 3 tablespoons of cinnamon bark bits)
3 tablespoons whole cloves

4 large black cardamom pods, shelled, husks discarded (about 1 tablespoon of seeds), optional
