I made this last year for my family at Thanksgiving and they all LOVED it. I plan to make it again this year!11/18/09

All I can say is holy Cardamom! I think this recipe called for way too much cardamom and ginger, it was all I could taste. I followed the recipe exactly and even made a double batch thinking that I love chai and applesauce. Bad idea. I tried everything to fix this. I added more brown sugar, I added vanilla extract. Nothing could take away that overly powerful cardamom taste. I think i'll just stick to regular applesauce next time and add cinnamon and nutmeg like I usually do....10/04/09
