Popover Puff
- Place butter in small micro-cooker; microwave, covered, on HIGH 30 seconds or until melted. Measure 1 tablespoon of the butter into bottom of deep dish pan; brush over bottom only.
- In a bowl, combine remaining butter, milk and eggs using whisk.
- In small bowl, stir together flour and salt. Add flour mixture to egg mixture; whisk 1 minute or until smooth. Pour batter into baker.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F; continue baking for 10 to 15 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
Apple Cranberry Filling
- Zest orange to measure 1 tablespoon zest. Juice orange; add enough water to juice to measure 1 cup.
- In large micro-cooker, combine orange zest, orange juice, cranberries, pudding mix and cinnamon; mix well.
- Core and slice apples, leaving peel on. Cut apples in half and separate slices into pudding mixture. Microwave, covered, on HIGH for 4 minutes; stir gently.
- Continue microwaving for 4 to 5 minutes or until glaze is thickened and clear; stir gently to evenly coat apples with glaze.
- Remove puff from oven to cooling rack; let stand for 3 minutes or until puff begins to fall, forming a shell. If necessary, use paring knife to cut around sides of puff to loosen from baker.
- Spoon filling into center of puff. Sprinkle toasted almonds around edges of filling. Sprinkle entire puff with powdered sugar.
- Slice and serve. If desired, serve with ice cream or whipped topping.
