2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3 egg yolks
2 tablespoons ghee or (butter), melted
1/4 cup maple syrup

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly coat an 8×8 cake pan with cooking oil spray. Mix together dry ingredients. In a separate bowl beat egg yolks, melted ghee, maple syrup and vanilla extract.

Combine sliced apples and pears with pear juice and maple syrup in a skillet and simmer until the liquid becomes thicker and the fruit is soft but not mushy.
Arrange cooked fruit over cake and then spoon some of the remaining liquid on top as a glaze.
