Serves: 12 Empanadas
Ingredients
For Apple Turnover Filling:
Granny Smith apples 4 cups (chopped)
all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons
sour cream ½ cup
ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon
salt ¼ teaspoon
pure vanilla extract 1 teaspoon
For Empanada Dough:
all-purpose flour 3 cups
baking powder 2 teaspoons
salt ½ teaspoon
shortening ½ cup
eggs 2
cup milk ½ cup
granulated sugar 2 tablespoons
ground cinnamon (optional) 1 teaspoon
For Glaze:
Canned evaporated milk or egg white 1
ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon
sugar ¼ cup
Preparation
Combine all ingredients for apple turnover filling together in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
Make empanada dough: Mix the first 3 dry ingredients. Cut in the shortening. It is best to use your hands. Add the eggs, milk, sugar, and cinnamon. Continue to work in with your hands until you have a soft dough. Split the dough in half, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about 20 to 30 minutes.
Take out half the dough and split it into 6 equal balls of dough.
On a floured surface, roll out the dough balls into small round circles.
Place a circle on each mold of the IMUSA empanada maker. Place a small dollop of apple filling on one half of each of the dough circles. Fold over the dough to cover filling. The empanadas will be sealed with the empanada maker.
Brush each empanada with some canned evaporated milk or egg whites, sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar mixture.
Preheat the IMUSA empanada maker. Once the green light is on close the lid and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until golden brown.
Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
