   a 9 1/2 inch tube pan with nonstick spray. 2. In a
   large bowl, cream the margarine with the brown sugar.
   Beat in the egg and vanilla. 3. In a medium bowl,
   combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and
   salt. Stir to blend. Stir in the cinnamon and nutmeg.
   4. Finely chop the apples, and mince the dried pears.
   5. 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. 6. Scrape the batter into the tube
   pan and bake for 40 min., or until golden brown and
   tests clean. 7. 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. Note: If you don't have any dried pears, you
   can substitute raisins
