NORWEGIAN APPLE PIE

You can use any kind of apples here, but I personally prefer that old-fashioned standby - Golden Delicious. The apple can be peeled or not, it's up to you. Don't be tempted to leave out or substitute for the cardamom or almond extract though. They are what make this version special.
