Puffy Apple Omelet

Logan Suiter

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

¼ teaspoon baking powder

⅛ teaspoon salt, optional

2 large eggs, separated, room temperature

3 tablespoons 2% milk

1 tablespoon lemon juice

3 tablespoons sugar

subheading: TOPPING:

1 large apple, peeled if desired, and thinly sliced

1 teaspoon sugar

¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 375°.

Mix flour, baking powder and, if desired, salt. In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolks, milk and lemon juice; stir into flour mixture.

In another bowl, beat egg whites on medium speed until foamy. Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on high after each addition until stiff peaks form. Fold into flour mixture.

Pour into a 9-in. deep-dish pie plate coated with cooking spray.

Arrange apple slices over top. Mix sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over apple.

Bake, uncovered, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes.

Serve immediately.
