Apple Skillet Popover with Maple Yogurt Cream

Share this post

apple skillet popover with maple yogurt cream recipeI am so excited to be hosting Thanksgiving this year at my house. For the first time in many, many, years my family is going to be in my house celebrating a holiday together. Thanksgiving dinner is not the only meal that will be made for the holiday. We are having lots of house guests so there are breakfast and lunches to be made also. I am always looking for something a little different to make. I found this recipe in Better Homes and Gardens and thought that it might be perfect for a holiday breakfast. And guess what? It is.

I made a little maple yogurt sauce using Mountain High Yoghurt to go over the popover and it is perfect. It adds creaminess and a little extra fall flavor from pure maple syrup. The sauce can be made a few days ahead of time, but the popover needs to be eaten right after it is made. Dust with some powdered sugar and serve straight out of the cast iron skillet. Don’t have a cast iron skillet? You can use a 9-inch metal cake pan instead.

I've gone back to this recipe over and over since it first appeared, but this year I discovered I have some allergies, including milk. I substituted in almond milk and a coconut based "butter" and it tasted just as fantastic as always! (Pecans are also a great add-in!)

The maple yogurt cream looks like such a good idea, healthier than whipped cream and looks just as tempting! I hope it works well for you having Thanksgiving at your home and you enjoy the process.

This looks delightful! And your cast iron puts mine to shame. Mine looks slightly more 'rustic'. I love things like this for breakfast, especially when cooking for a crowd!

I season it every few months. It didn't look so good a few weeks ago.
