Start by preheating your oven to 400°F and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium saucepan, bring the water, butter, and salt to a boil. Once the butter is completely melted, remove the pan from heat and add in the flour. Stir until the mixture forms a ball.
Next, transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. The dough should be smooth and glossy.
Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip. Pipe the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, forming 4-inch long eclairs. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown. Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.
In the meantime, prepare the filling by whipping the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Transfer the filling to a piping bag fitted with a small round tip.
Using a sharp knife, make a small slit on the bottom of each eclair. Pipe the cherry and green apple pie fillings into the eclairs, alternating between the two flavors. Finally, pipe the whipped cream on top of the eclairs and serve immediately.
There you have it, a delicious and festive Christmas eclair recipe that will impress all your guests. Enjoy and have a merry Christmas!
