Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium-high, heat the water, butter and salt until boiling. Add the flour and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture comes away from the sides of the pan and forms a ball of dough, about 1 minute.
  3. Transfer the dough to the bowl of an electric mixer. Mix with the paddle attachment for 1 minute. Add the eggs, one at a time, waiting until fully incorporated before adding the next. When all of the eggs have been incorporated, mix in the cheese.
  4. Spoon the mixture into a large zip-close bag with the corner cut off (or a pastry bag). Gently squeeze the bag to create walnut-size mounds on the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each mound. Bake for 10 minutes, then lower the oven to 375 degrees and bake for 15 minutes more, or until golden brown.
  5. Remove the puffs from the oven and pierce the side of each to allow steam to escape. Cool completely, then use or store in an airtight container up to 24 hours.
  6. While the puffs bake, make the filling. In a medium saucepan over medium-high, cook the apples, sugar, ginger, lemon juice, salt and 2 tablespoons water just until the apples are tender, about 6 minutes. In a glass, stir together the remaining 2 tablespoons of the water and the cornstarch, then add to the apples. Bring up to a simmer and cook just until the mixture thickens, about 1 to 2 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before using. The mixture also can be refrigerated up to 24 hours before adding to the puffs. If so, rewarm just before using.
  7. To fill the puffs, cut each in half horizontally. Spoon a small amount of the filling into the bottom of the shell, then replace the top half of the shell. Serve warm or at room temperature.
