German Apple Puffs

This is such a yummy breakfast recipe.  I got this from Beth almost a year ago and I had forgotten about it until yesterday.  My kids gobbled these up this morning.  I think it might be a Martha Stewart recipe but I can't remember for sure.  In any case, if you like German Pancakes you will love these.
4 T. Butter, plus more for greasing muffin tin
2-3 Apples, sliced very thin
1/4 C. Brown Sugar
1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
2/3 C. Flour
5 T. Sugar, plus more for dusting
3/4 C. Milk
3 Eggs
Powdered Sugar for dusting

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.  Grease the muffin tin with butter then put a little bit of sugar in each cup.  Over the sink, move the pan around to coat the inside of each cup with sugar just like you would if you were flouring a cake pan.  In a small sauce pan, melt 2 T. of butter and add brown sugar, cinnamon and apples.  Cook apples 10 minutes.  Spoon apples evenly into muffin tin.  Melt the remaining butter in a mixing bowl and add flour, sugar, milk, and eggs.  Whisk well until smooth.  Use a measuring cup to fill each muffin cup just shy of the top.  Bake 15 minutes (They won't puff until the last 4-5 minutes of baking.  Remove from pan to a serving plate and dust with powdered sugar.  Serve right away.

Confession: I have never been able to butter and flour a cake pan so that things come out easily. Can you teach me that trick some time?
