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

Preparation
Step 1
* 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.
