Apple Cheddar Popovers

Ingredients: (Servings: 8)

• cooking spray
• 1 tart apple, such as Granny Smith or Fuji, peeled, cored, and chopped
• 1/3 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup flour
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup 1% milk
• 1 tablespoon margarine, melted

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Lightly coat 8 popover cups with cooking spray.  (If you don't have a popover pan, you can use a muffin tin.)
2. Place 1 tablespoon each of the apple and cheese at the bottom of each popover cup.
3. In a food processor or blender, combine eggs, flour, and salt. Process until well blended.  (If you don't have a food processor or a blender, you can use a handmixer.)
4. With the machine running, add milk and margarine through the feed tube (if using a food processor—otherwise, add these a little bit at a time to the blender or bowl). Process until smooth.
5. Fill the cups two-thirds full with the batter.
6. Bake for 15 minutes, reduce oven temperature to 350°F, and continue to bake for another 20 minutes until popovers are puffed and golden brown.
7. Let cool at least 15 minutes, then remove from pan.
