Cinnamon Pear Popovers
Nothing says fall to me more than cinnamon flavored anything and everything. These Cinnamon Pear Popovers do not disappoint. They are light and airy with just the right amount of crispness from the pears. Pears are just the first fruit to start with and a delightful change from cinnamon apples. But let’s be honest, cinnamon apples would be phenomenal in these. Or bananas, or cranberries, or blackberries- you see where I’m going with this. I like to eat the popovers for breakfast but they are a light dessert as well in a season full of sweets. Let me know what fruit combinations you try out!

Do you think white whole wheat would work in these? I prefer whole wheats, but these look wonderful!
Yes, I think they will.
Nummy – Maybe with apples as well? I make these savory popovers all the time – so quick and easy!
Fantastic recipe. Just in time for our large number of pears ripening too fast. Can’t wait to try it.
Yum those look amazing
Is this recipe for regular sized muffins or mini muffin pans?
Hi Janine, you could do either I think but I always make mine in a regular size muffin pan.
Thank you Katie.
This definitely isn’t the healthiest way to eat these, but… we ate them with maple syrup on top, and they were great!
I made these tonight with apples, but they were super dense and never got crispy. We just ended up picking the apples out to eat. Any suggestions?
You know, I’m not sure. How big were the apple pieces?
you could try it with apple butter instead.
Do you use plain or self-rising flour?
Hey Kim, I usually just use plain all purpose flour.
My popovers were delicious but didn’t puff up. Any ideas?
Maybe the pear pieces were a little too big and weighed them down? Or maybe it was the flour. I’m not sure. I’m glad they still tasted good though!
