Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375° F and grease and line a 9 inch cake pan with parchment paper.

2. Thinly slice apples and add to a bowl. Toss with lemon juice and cinnamon sugar crunch.

3. In a medium bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and cardamom. Whisk together until well combined.
