Sweet Apple Empanadas
Sweet apple empanadas fried golden, the Latin bakery's dessert pocket. Flaky, buttery pastry around a filling that actually tastes of the season. Serve warm with cream, custard or a scoop of ice cream.
Ingredients
- Butter1/2 cup, cold
- Salt1/2 tsp
- All-Purpose Flour2 cups
- Sugar2 tbsp
- Wheat Flour3 cups
- Ground Cinnamon1 tsp
- Brown Sugar1/2 cup
- Apple2 cups, chopped
Instructions
- 1
Cube the cold butter and return it to the fridge while you measure the rest.
- 2
Cut the cold butter through the flour, drizzle in ice water, and gather the dough without kneading.
- 3
Chill the wrapped dough thirty minutes to an hour while you prepare the apple.
- 4
Layer in the apple with the wheat flour so every slice gets a full cross-section.
- 5
Bake hot until the pastry is bronzed and crisp; a cooling spell keeps the filling from running.
Chef's tip
Salt is the missing ingredient in most home desserts — a small pinch makes chocolate and caramel taste more like themselves.
