Preheat the oven to 200째C. In a large ovenproof skillet heat the vegetable oil over high heat. Season the pork loin all over generously with salt and pepper.

DIRECTIONS:
1 red apple
Peel the red apple and cut it into cubes. Cook the apple cubes without liquid in their own juice in a covered pan over low heat. Remove the pan when the apples are tender and sweeten them to taste. Separately, beat the egg whites until they are stiff and mix them gently with the apples in a big bowl. Put the mixture into cups and cool them in the refrigerator. Before serving, decorate the cups with green apple slices, very thin, leaving the peel.
