Beat egg yolks until lemon colored and stir into floured mixture. Beat egg whites until stiff and fold gently into fruit mixture. Transfer to buttered casserole (9 X 9 pan) and spread with topping.

TOPPING: Sift flour, sugar and spices together, then crumble the butter into the dry ingredients. When well mixed, but still in the 'pebbley" state, add chopped nuts & mix lightly. Sprinkle topping over apple-rhubarb mixture, covering well. Bake 375 oven 30-40 min. until fruit is tender.
