How do I prepare the dough?

Sprinkle flour on your work surface, open and roll out each dough, and cut six 4-inch diameter circles from each pie dough.

What's in the filling?

Mix all filling ingredients in a large bowl and divide into 12 portions.

Place a portion of filling in the center of each dough circle, brush egg wash on the rim, fold in half, and crimp edges with a fork.

Preheat the oven to 375°F and bake the empanadas for 20 minutes or until hot and golden brown.

Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce for a delicious experience.
