Ingredients

  • 10 discs of Goya Puff Pastry Dough for Turnovers thawed
  • 2 granny smith apples
  • ½ cup of sugar
  • ½ cup of light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Spray cooking oil

Instructions

  • Take out your dough and allow it to thaw.
  • Peel, core, and dice your apples.
  • Mix them with sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, a pinch of nutmeg, and lemon juice.
  • Lay out your thawed dough on the counter. Place about 1-2 tablespoons of filling in each center of the pastry dough. Moisten the outer edges with water lightly. Then fold the dough in half and seal the edges with a fork.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 375F. Spray the empanadas with cooking oil on both sides and cook for 12-15 minutes, until they are golden-brown. (If you are going to deep fry them, heat the oil to 375F and deep fry for about 3-5 minutes, until they are golden-brown.)
