Apple/pear cake.

I've been baking this a lot recently. It's basically this recipe from Smitten Kitchen halved and less physically attractive.

3 apples or pears
1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
2 1/2 tablespoons sugar

1 3/8 cups flour, sifted
1 cup sugar
1/2 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup applesauce
2 tbsp orange juice
1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8"x8" or 9"x9" pan.

Peel, core, and chop fruit. Toss with cinnamon and sugar and set aside.

Stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Mix in applesauce, orange juice, eggs, and vanilla. Add walnuts if desired.

Spread fruit evenly in greased pan, then spread batter over fruit. Mix up in the pan a little. Bake for about an hour, or until a tester comes out clean.
