Steps:
- Melt butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat until foam subsides. Add sugar and cook, stirring, until dissolved, about 1 minute. Add apple and cook, turning slices over once, until golden and just tender, 5 to 8 minutes.
- Whisk together eggs with a pinch of salt. Pour eggs over apple and cook over moderately low heat, lifting up cooked egg around edge occasionally with a heatproof rubber spatula to let raw egg flow underneath, until omelet is set but top is still slightly moist, about 2 minutes. Dollop crème fraîche and dulce de leche across center of omelet. Fold bottom third of omelet over filling using a heatproof plastic spatula. Holding skillet over a plate, carefully tilt skillet until omelet slides out and almost half is touching plate, then turn skillet upside down, as if trying to cover plate, to make omelet fold over itself. Cut omelet in half and divide between 2 plates.

CARAMELIZED APPLES
These caramelized apples are meant to be slightly sweet, not overpowering and sugary, so they're versatile in nature. Spicy-tart and thoroughly warming, these apples are a fabulous addition to crepes or homemade ice cream. They're equally at home as an unexpected garnish for mildly spicy grilled chicken or a tropical menu from Martinique. Cook's note: For a delicious "cheater" dessert, fill a store-bought tart shell with these apples. With the homemade goodness of the apples and apple cider reduction sauce, nobody will guess your secret!

Steps:
- Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Dip apples in boiling water for a few seconds, then dry with paper towels to remove any wax from the peels. Set apples aside; when completely cool, insert a wooden chopstick firmly into the bottom of each apple for a handle.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Stir butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, and sweetened condensed milk together in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and reduce heat to medium. Cook until a candy thermometer reads 248 degrees F (120 degrees C), 25 to 30 minutes; stir constantly to prevent burning. A teaspoon of the syrup, dropped in a glass of cold water, should form a firm ball. Remove caramel from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Working quickly, dip each apple into the hot caramel to completely coat the apple and about 1/2 inch of the wooden handle. Sprinkle apples with any desired toppings while still hot. Let caramel apples cool on the parchment paper. Use caution, caramel is very hot.
