LEMON APPLES

In a large bowl, combine milk and oats; let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in egg, oil and molasses. Combine dry ingredients; stir into oat mixture just until moistened. Beat egg whites until soft peaks form; fold gently into batter. Set aside. Heat butter in a skillet until foamy. Add apples, lemon juice and peel; cook, uncovered, for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, cook oatcakes: Pour batter by ¼ cupfuls onto a hot greased griddle. Cook until bubbles form; turn and cook until browned on other side. For apples, combine sugar, cornstarch and nutmeg; add to apple mixture and cook 2 minutes longer or until tender. Serve warm over oatcakes. Yield: 6-8 servings Recipe By : Taste of Home
