Instructions
- In a large skillet, add butter and melt over low heat. Add apple slices, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Cook until apples become soft, stirring frequently at first and occasionally after ingredients become more incorporated. Let apples remain warm over low heat until ready to serve.

- Add a scoop of the egg whites to the batter and stir. Repeat with the remaining egg whites and stir until egg whites are no longer seen.
- Cook in waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
