This cake is as simple as possible. Even pre-caramelizing the pears and apples does not make it complicated to cook. It was a big hit with my folks - and it was delicious either hot or cold.

Since the batter contains ground almonds, the crumb will be a little loose, which is a good thing. You can substitute ground walnuts or hazelnuts for the almonds - it will be no less delicious.
