Ingredients

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter or margarine
  • 2 large apples peeled, cored and thinly sliced
  • 1¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 large eggs
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 tablespoon confectioners sugar optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. 
  • Heat butter or margarine on low in a medium-size pan and sauté apples for 5 minutes.
  •  Mix together brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over apples. Toss and continue to sauté apples for 10 minutes, until they caramelize. The mixture will be thick and syrupy.
  • Spoon mixture into an 8X8-inch baking dish and place in a 450°F oven. 
  • Separate eggs. Whisk yolks and granulated sugar in a small bowl until fairly thick. In a large bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff and shiny.
  • Fold whites into yolk mixture, a third at a time. Pour egg mixture over the apples and bake for 8 to 10 minutes.
  •  Remove from oven. The omelet will be puffed and golden. Sprinkle with confectioners sugar, and serve immediately.
