Looking for something special and seasonal to whip up for your loved ones these holidays? These Apple Spiced Profiteroles are the perfect treat and dessert! Profiteroles or cream puffs, are a simple airy choux pastry filled with velvety whipped cream and apple spiced sauce folded together.

These profiteroles sound and look impressive! The name is deceptively complicated when in reality it is a really easy dessert to make! But no need to tell your loved ones that!

Usually, I make profiteroles (cream puffs) into a more round shape but in the spirit of this season I wanted to make them look a little like Christmas trees. You can do this by piping a circle on your tray (as your base) and then filling the circle (with the same piping bag) in circular moves, slowly building it into a cone shape. Practice makes perfect, my first 10 were duds so just keep trying!

If you would prefer a different filling for your pastry balls then use my easy profiteroles recipe which you can then fill with a classic filling or anything your wee heart desires!

I love changing up the flavor of my profiteroles, I also have an amazing Lemon Curd Profiterole recipe and a Small Batch Blueberry Profiterole recipe.

Tips For The Best Apple Spiced Profiteroles:

• Every oven is different, if you know your oven has a hot spot make sure you turn the trays mid cook etc.

• You can use any apples you have, I tested this recipe with both green apples and red apples. The green apples give a slightly more tart flavor while red apples had a slightly sweeter flavor.

• Heavy cream is whipping cream, the name varies by country but basically any cream with enough fat content to whip.

• Apple spiced filling can be made the night before, store in a airtight container in a refrigerator.

Enjoy!
