Apple Puffy Omelet

Originally I(Ben) was going to make the omelet and my sister(Abbie) was going to make the apple sauce. Abbie spent the night at a friend's house and stayed up real late. Then she had a D.A.R.E. camp to go to, so she never woke up to make the apple sauce, leaving me with the omelet and the sauce.

Here is the recipe for the Apple Puffy Omelet!

This is for the sauce.

1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2/3 cup cold water
2 teaspoons lemon juice
3 apples, peeled, cored, and cut in 1/2in thick wedges
2 tablespoons butter

To prepare sauce, combine brown sugar and cornstarch in saucepan. Stir in the 2/3 cup of cold water and lemon juice. Cook quickly, stirring constantly, till thickened and bubbly. Add apples; stir gently. Cover and simmer gently for 3 to 5 minutes or till apples are tender. Add the 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir till butter melts.
