  1 1/2 ts Vanilla
  2 1/4 c  Flour
  1 1/2 ts Baking powder

  Preheat the oven to 375ºF/190ºC. Spray a 9 1/2" tube pan
  with nonstick spray.
  
  In a large bowl, cream the butter with the brown sugar.
  Beat in the egg and vanilla.
  
  In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking
  soda and salt. Stir to blend. Stir in the cinnamon and
  nutmeg.
  
  Finely chop the apples, and mince the dried pears.
  
  Alternately add the flour mixture and the milk to the
  butter-sugar mixture in three additions, beating just
  until the flour is no longer visible. Stir in the apples
  and pears.
  
  Scrape the batter into the tube pan and bake for 40 min.,
  or until golden brown and tests clean.
  
  Cool in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes, then unmold the
  cake and cool completely. Dust cake with confectioners
  sugar just before serving.
  
  Serving size: one 2 1/4 inch wedge.
  
  Note: If you don't have any dried pears, you can
  substitute raisins are just as good!
