Apple Popover (Joy of Baking recipe)

Apple Popover: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) and place the rack in the center of the oven. 
 
Apples: In a small bowl, mix the sugar with the ground cinnamon. Then in an 8- or 9- inch (20 or 23 cm) heavy  ovenproof skillet (preferably nonstick), melt the butter. Add the sliced apples and sugar mixture and sauteed the apples just until tender.  

Popover Batter: Meanwhile, in your food processor or blender (can also use an electric mixer) place all the batter ingredients. Process for about one minute, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Once the batter is completely smooth, pour over the sauteed apples.  
 
Bake for about 18-20 minutes or until the popover is puffed and golden brown. Do not open the oven door until the end of the baking time or it may collapse. Serve immediately with a dusting of confectioners sugar and softly whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or yogurt.
Serves 4.

Apples:

1 pound (450 grams) Granny Smith Apples* (2-3 large), peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4 inch (.5 cm) slices

1 tablespoon (15 grams) unsalted butter

1 tablespoon (15 grams) granulated white sugar

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Popover Batter:

3 large eggs

1/2 cup (120 ml) milk

2 tablespoons (30 grams) unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 cup (65 grams) all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons (25 grams) granulated white sugar

Garnish:

Confectioners (powdered or icing) sugar

Softly whipped cream, vanilla ice cream or yogurt

Use any apple you prefer, I've made this several times, it is really good. I like to use gala apples because they are naturally sweet. I like to make this in the morning and have it for breakfast, it's not super sweet so it's perfect for a healthy light A.M. treat.
