Sweet on Apples

These popovers are easy to make, and light as air with a special surprise in their bottom. They may seem special, but you don't need a special occasion to make them. Serve with Sunday breakfast, mid-week with a soup meal, or as a bread accompaniment to a salad luncheon "with the girls."

Apple-Cheddar Popovers

(makes 8 servings)

	butter-flavored cooking spray
1	tart apple, such as Pippin, Granny Smith, or Fuji, peeled, cored, and chopped
1/3	cup (40 g) shredded 2% sharp cheddar cheese
2	large eggs
1	cup (140 g) unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4	teaspoon (1.25 ml) salt
1	cup (240 ml) low fat (1%) milk
1	tablespoon (13 g) stick reduced-fat margarine, melted

Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C), Gas Mark 8. Lightly coat 8 popover cups with cooking spray.
Place 1 tablespoon (15 ml) each of the apple and cheese at the bottom of each popover cup.
In a food processor or blender, combine eggs, flour, and salt. Process until well blended. With the machine running, add milk and margarine through the feed tube. Process until smooth. Fill the cups two-thirds full with the batter.
