Small half-circle doughy dessert with apple-cinnamon filling. You can fill these with anything if you don’t like apple. This is a good base recipe that can be altered any way you like! My family loves these!
Ingredients
Dough
- 1 cup butter
- 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
Apple Filling
- 4 small apples – peeled, cored, and cut into small cubes
- ½ cup white sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
Directions
Step 1
Mix butter and cream cheese together in a bowl. Stir in flour until dough comes together and forms into a ball. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate 8 hours to overnight.
Step 2
Combine apples, sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cover; cook, stirring frequently, until apples are the consistency of chunky applesauce, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
Step 3
Remove dough from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Step 4
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 5
Divide dough into 10 pieces and roll into balls. Roll out each ball into a 3- to 4-inch circle with a rolling pin. Fill one side of the circle with apple filling. Moisten edges lightly with water. Fold dough over the filling and press edges together to seal.
Step 6
Arrange empanadas on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven until dough is golden, about 15 minutes.
Cook’s Notes:
The number of empanadas you get depends upon how thick you roll them out and how thin you stretch them over the filling.
