We always made cream puffs for special occasions when I was growing up in a family of seven. My favorite filling, then and now, is whipped cream and nutmeg-spiced peaches. —Agnes Ward, Stratford, Ontario

Spiced Peach Puffs Recipe

Prep: 70 min. Bake: 25 min. + cooling

Yield: 36 Servings

70 25 95

Ingredients

1 cup water
1/2 cup butter, cubed
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 eggs
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups chopped peeled fresh or frozen peaches, thawed
Additional confectioners' sugar

Directions

In a large saucepan, bring the water, butter, nutmeg and salt to a boil. Add flour all at once and stir until a smooth ball forms. Remove from the heat; let stand for 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until mixture is smooth and shiny.
Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 400° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to a wire rack. Immediately split puffs open; remove tops and set aside. Discard soft dough from inside. Cool puffs.
For filling, in a large bowl, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add confectioners' sugar and vanilla; beat until stiff peaks form.
Just before serving, fill puffs with whipped cream and peaches. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Yield: 3 dozen.

Love peaches, but will also try with fresh apricots.

I make cream puffs and they are not as hard as people think, this idea with the little touch of nutmeg and then using fresh peaches sounds wonderful! Thanks for the GREAT idea....
