    8                    egg whites
    3      c             grated peeled apple -- about 2 large apples
    2      tbsps         lemon juice
      1/2  c             sugar
    1 1/2  tsps          cinnamon
      1/2  tsp           vanilla extract
    1 1/2  c             sifted flour
      1/2  tsp           salt
      1/2  c             finely chopped nuts -- optional
    1      c             minced cranberries -- optional
                         powdered sugar -- for topping
 
 
 
 1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Generously oil a 9-inch square pan & 
 dust with flour.
 
 2) Place the egg whites in a large bowl, and beat with an electric mixer 
 at high speed until they form sturdy peaks.
 
 3) In another large bowl, combine apples with all remaining ingredients 
 (including optional nuts & cranberries) & mix well.
 
 4) Use a rubber spatula to fold the beaten egg white into the apple 
 mixture until fairly well combined.  Transfer to the prepared pan, and 
 bake about 30 minutes - until a probe comes out clean.  Cool before 
 slicing.  Serve plain or dusted with powdered sugar.

 NOTES : As its name suggests, this cake is very light & fluffy, thanks 
 to the presence of 8 beaten egg whites (& the absence of egg yolks, 
 butter, oil or dairy products).  A few tips:
 -Separate the eggs when cold, then let the whites come to room 
 temperature before beating them.
 -You can grate the apples in a food processor with the grating 
 attachment.
 -Be generous when you oil & flour the pan.  This cake has a tendency to 
 stick.
 -If you can't bring yourself to throw out the egg yolks, save them to 
 brush over bread (I buy the litre containers of egg whites at the 
 supermarket, so there’s no waste. -- stimps).
