Russian Apple Pancake

This is an adaptation of a recipe 'collected' by Connie A...

1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup brown Sugar
6 eggs
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp vanilla
pinch salt
2 cups flour
6 tart apples (granny smith) peeled, cored and chopped
1 cup nuts (optional)


Mix eggs, sugar, salt and vanilla until light in color and fluffy.  stir in baking powder and flour until the batter is smooth.  Gently stir in apples.  Pour into greased and floured 9 x 13 inch baking pan.  Bake at 375 degrees F until a toothpick comes out clean, approximately 50 minutes. 

This comes out with a sweet crunchy crust and a cake-like interior filled with apples. --cmw
