Sweet Popovers Recipe
Popovers are a favorite recipe in my home. I can’t believe this is the first popover recipe that I have ever posted on WonkyWonderful! My daughter loves to help me make them because it is an easy one bowl recipe and she gets to be in charge of the whisk.
Plain popovers are a light and hollow roll that are a great addition to any meal. These Spiced Apple Popovers have the roll texture on the outside, but the inside reminds me of a warm soufflé that can be scooped out with a spoon.
Musselman’s Apple Butter contacted me and offered to send their product so I could create a recipe and host a giveaway. I was super excited because I love to take ingredients/products and figure out a way to use them in a new and unexpected way. Musselman’s is encouraging folks to put a new Spin on classic recipes by using their apple butter. They have also released a New Apple Butter E-Recipe Book that you can download for more tasty recipe ideas.
Another reason that I was excited is because I have never really tried apple butter. I know, crazy … Right!?!
According to my Mom I did try apple butter as a kid and was unimpressed. My tastes have changed . . . I love this stuff! I’ve been using it in all sorts of recipes and I have also been eating it by the spoonful!
The Maple Cinnamon Butter Spread makes this already luxurious dessert even richer. The butter is loaded with flavor and spreadable while cold.
