apple empanadas

These Easy Baked Apple Empanadas are made with premade pie crusts and a simple apple filling.

Easy Baked Apple Empanadas

Pie Crust (Refrigerated

Honeycrisp Apples (peeled and diced)

Granny Smith Apples (peeled and diced)

Lemon Juice

Brown Sugar

Cinnamon

Egg (whisked for egg wash)

Peel and dice apples into small even pieces. Place apples in a skillet over medium heat, and add lemon juice, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Bring to a simmer and reduce heat to medium-low.

Continue cooking, stirring periodically until liquid evaporates and apples have softened. You don&#39;t want the apple filling to have a lot of moisture. Remove from heat and allow to cool. You can also make this a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator.

Thaw pie crust according to package directions.

Use a cup or small bowl that is 3 in diameter. Unroll the pie crust and use the cup to cut out circles in the crust. Make them close together to use up all the space. Then roll the scraps back together into a ball and roll out again and repeat the process until you use all the dough.

Take one dough disc and roll it out again to double in size, about 6 in diameter. Then take 2 heaping tablespoons of apple filling and place it in the center of the disc. Fold the dough over and seal the edges with a fork or create a seal by folding the edges over. Place on a baking sheet.

Once all the empanadas are filled. Place them in the refirgerator while the oven pre-heats. Preheat oven to 375° Fahrenheit

Remove empanadas from the refrigerator. Take a knife and make 2 small slits across the top of each one for venting.

Beat one egg until smooth and use a pastry brush to brush the tops of each empanada with the egg wash.

Bake empanadas for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.  Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. The filling will be hot out of the oven.  Serve warm or allow to cool to room temperature and serve.

Excellent idea.
Extremely easy. 
Delicious!
You're awesome.

Dessert Empanadas- 2 Ways!

Baked Apple Empanadas have a warm, cinnamon, sweet apple filling inside a flaky, golden brown empanada pastry crust in a delicious handheld dessert!

Baked Apple Empanadas Recipe

all-purpose flour

sugar

salt

butter,

water

white vinegar

Cajeta or caramel sauce

apples

brown sugar

butter

cinnamon

nutmeg

lemon juice

cornstarch

In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar and salt.

Add the butter and using a pastry cutter or a fork cut the butter into the flour.  It should resemble sand.

Add the egg, water and vinegar and stir until combined.

Knead in the bowl for 2 to 3 minutes until smooth.  This dough will be very soft but it will not get elastic and you don’t want to overwork it.

Wrap it well in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Make The Empanada Dough:

Place the apples, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice and salt in a pan.

Cook over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes.  The apples will release juice and should be nice and soft.

Combine the water and cornstarch and stir into the apples.  Cook for another minute, stirring continually until the apples thicken.

Remove from the heat and cool until ready to use.

Make The Apple Pie Filling:

Preheat the oven to 375°.

Roll out the dough.

Cut out circle shapes of dough with a 3-4 inch cookie cutter

Place a large spoon of the apple filling on half of the dough.

Fold the dough over and press the seams closed.  Use a fork and press around the edges well.

Place the empanadas on a cookie sheet sprayed with cooking spray.

Bake for 12 minutes.

Serve with caramel or cajeta sauce.
