Baked Buttery Apple Cinnamon Empanadas
My baked apple empanadas are dessert empanadas made with a homemade buttery brown sugar apple filling and drizzled with a spiced rum icing. This recipe uses pre-made frozen pastry, but you can also make your own. These delicious empanadas are ready in just 35 minutes. They’re basically apple pie on the go
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 3 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 package frozen pastry rounds, or frozen pie crust or your favorite dough recipe
- 1 large egg, whisked
- 4 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon spiced rum
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix ground cinnamon and sugar together. Save about 2 tablespoons for later.
- Toss diced apples with the cinnamon sugar mixture then add butter, brown sugar, and lime juice. Gently mix everything together.
- Preheat oven at 350ºF. In a pastry round, add one tablespoon of the filling into the center of the circle, fold, and seal with a fork.
- Place the empanadas on a lightly greased cookie sheet 2 inches apart, brush with the egg wash, and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned.
- In a bowl, stir powdered sugar and spiced rum together then drizzle over empanadas. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
