Valentine Irish Apple Cake w/picture

3       egg whites
1-1/2 c. sugar
1       c. unsweetened applesauce
1       tsp. vanilla
2       c. all-purpose flour
2       tsp. ground cinnamon
1       tsp. baking soda
1/2    tsp. salt
4       c. sliced, cored and peeled tart apples

Preheat oven to 350F. Beat egg whites until slightly foamy; add sugar, applesauce and vanilla. Combine flour, cinnamon,
baking soda and salt in separate bowl; add to applesauce
mixture. Spread apples in 13 x 9 inch pan or another
large round or shaped cake pan sprayed with nonstick
cooking spray. I have used a www.cooking.com/products/shprodde.asp?SKU=218658&cjsku=218658" target="_top">
Heart-Shaped Cake Pan.

Spread batter over apples. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean; cool
on wire rack. Cut and serve with ice cream or whipped
cream; I have decorated it for Valentine's Day.
