My mom (Grandma Jane) came to stay with us for a week after baby Cass was born. Whenever she comes after I have a baby she brings tons of recipes and does major cooking. She completely stocked our freezer with easy-to-prepare meals and little shortcuts (like already cooked shredded chicken) to make my life easier.
Well, while mom did tons of cooking while she was here, there were a couple recipes she never got around to making, so I decided to try my hand at this one after she left - Apple, Ham, and Cheese Dinner Cups. Mom forgot the recipe, so I lucked out and found it in our kitchen after she left. She had already bought all the ingredients, so it was super-easy for me to whip up! I called them dinner "cupcakes" to entice my girls to give them a try.
Apple, Ham and Cheese Dinner Cups
Ingredients:
1 can Pillsbury Grands Jr. Golden Layers Biscuits (10 count)
1/3 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup apricot preserves
3/4 cup chopped ham
3/4 cup chopped apple
3/4 cup cheddar or jack cheese
2 tablespoons chopped green onions
Substitution: I used left over pork loin (cubed) instead of ham in mine, but chopped, cooked bacon would be delicious as well!
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Pull out your regular sized muffin pan and spray with cooking spray. Open biscuit can and stretch out each biscuit to about 2.5"-3" wide. Place biscuit into muffin tray, pressing it so it's like a little cup that you can use to put your filling inside.
Mix sour cream, mustard and preserves together in a bowl. Once mixed, add your meat, apple, cheese and green onions. Divide the mixture among the 10 muffin cups. Bake for 22-25 minutes or until golden brown. I suggest using the middle rack of your oven.
Serve two per plate along with a nice side salad.
Enjoy!
