Juicy Apple Popovers

"In everything give thanks".....so very true, not only this time of year but we should truly cherish this notion all year long.  I have a piece of artwork hanging at our front door that reads, "Begin Each Day With A Grateful Heart".   It is a reminder to us as we head out for our day that we need to remember and be grateful for all that we have, even the simplest things that we take for granted.

Even though we don't live in a perfect world we should feel blessed that we are perfectly imperfect.

LOVE this !

Well, in all of this thanks, it just wouldn't be fall without making our Juicy Apple Popovers.  I saw these being made by Gale Gand a bazillion years ago when food tv was just getting started.  She was one of the first "food stars" and I just loved watching her show Sweet Dreams.  She is so adorable, no ego, very gracious  and makes you feel like you can bake anything!!

These are kind of like an individual fluffy apple pancake.

Recipe courtesy Gale Gand


2 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons plus 6 tablespoons butter
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 cup raisins (or dried sweetened cranberries)

Heat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Whisk the eggs and milk together in a medium bowl. Add the flour, salt, and sugar and whisk to blend. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and whisk it into the batter.

In each cup of regular sized muffin tins, divide cold butter, apple and raisins. Place the muffin tins in the oven for 5 minutes to melt the butter and cook the apples slightly.

Remove the tins from the oven and pour the batter into each cup filling them half way up.

 Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce the heat to 375 degrees F and bake until puffed and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes more. Serve hot.
