Sweet Apple Empanadas

🍰 Desserts

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.

Prep 34 min Cook 37 min Serves 10 Hard

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. 1

    Cube the cold butter and return it to the fridge while you measure the rest.

  2. 2

    Cut the cold butter through the flour, drizzle in ice water, and gather the dough without kneading.

  3. 3

    Chill the wrapped dough thirty minutes to an hour while you prepare the apple.

  4. 4

    Layer in the apple with the wheat flour so every slice gets a full cross-section.

  5. 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.
