Puffy Apple Omelet

Here is another one from Healthy Cooking.  This was surprsingly really good!  The dough is puffy and has a sweetness to it that goes well with the apples.  It was a bit more labor intensive than some of the other things we have done, but it was a pretty good treat for a Sunday afternoon! 

One word of advice - don't forget the nonstick spray!  We basically had to scrape it our of the pan. It was sad to mess up something that looked so pretty, so if you want to serve it pretty, don't forget this step.
