Caramel Pineapple Empanadas
 
 
adapted from Mexican Made Easy
Ingredients
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • caramel sauce
  • ½ cup cubed fresh pineapple
  • 1 egg, beaten with ½ tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon sugar in the raw
Method
  1. Using a floured rolling pin, roll pastry out to a ¼-inch thickness. Using a 3-inch round cutter, cut out 9 circles. Spoon a teaspoon of caramel sauce in the center of each round.
  2. Top each round with a few pieces of pineapple. Brush the edge of each circle with egg wash and fold each round into a half-moon. Crimp the edges with a fork.
  3. Transfer the empanadas to a baking sheet lined with parchment or a silpat, and brush them with the remaining egg wash. Sprinkle the empandas with sugar and bake at 350 for approximately 25 to 30 minutes. Serve warm.
