Apple Puff Omelet
INGREDIENTS
- 2 large apples
- 1/4 cup sweet butter or margarine
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar
DIRECTIONS
-
Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Peel, core and thinly slice apples. Heat butter or margarine in a medium-size skillet and sauté the apples for 5 minutes over low heat.
-
Mix together brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over apples. Toss and continue to sauté apples for about 10 minutes, until they caramelize. The mixture will be thick and syrupy.
-
Spoon mixture into an 8×8-inch baking dish and keep hot in the oven.
-
Separate the eggs, then whisk the yolks and the granulated sugar in a small bowl until thick. In a large bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff and shiny. Fold into yolk mixture, a third at a time.
-
Pour egg mixture over the apples and bake for 8-10 minutes. The omelet will be puffed and golden.
-
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar. Serve immediately.
