What Is an Apple Omelette?
An apple omelette is a sweet, fruit-filled omelet made by combining apples sautéed with butter, sugar, and cinnamon, then folded into a fluffy egg batter. Unlike a traditional omelet, this version is sweet, dessert-like, and baked or pan-fried until golden. It’s a comforting and wholesome breakfast option that can be served sliced, dusted with powdered sugar, or topped with syrup.
Pro Tips for Success
Use firm apples: Varieties like Gala, Fuji, or Honeycrisp hold their shape during cooking.
Cook apples first: Lightly sautéing the apples with sugar and butter ensures they’re soft and caramelized.
Whip egg whites: Beat the whites separately for extra fluffiness in the omelette.
Fold gently: Incorporate yolk mixture into egg whites with upward motions to maintain airiness.
Serve warm: Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with honey for extra sweetness.

Ingredients
How to Make Apple Omelette
Peel and dice the apples. Place them in a pan with butter, half the sugar, cinnamon, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until soft and caramelized. Separate egg yolks from the whites. In a bowl, mix the yolks with flour and milk, alternating gradually, to create a smooth batter. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites with the remaining sugar until stiff peaks form.

Gently fold the yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites, keeping the batter airy. Pour the mixture over the cooked apples in the pan. Cook until the bottom sets, then carefully flip to cook the other side.
