How to Make Berry Empanadas Empanadas De Bayas

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 medium apple (peeled, cored, and diced), 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
  3. Gently fold in 2 cups of mixed Oregon raspberries and blackberries.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out your prepared pie crust (or store-bought) to 1/8 inch thickness. Use a 4 1/2-inch cookie cutter or knife to cut out twelve rounds.
  5. Place 2 tablespoons of the berry filling onto one half of each pastry round, leaving about 1/2 inch of space along the edges.
  6. Fold the other half of the pastry over the filling, pressing firmly to seal the edges. Crimp the edges with a fork to create a decorative seal.
  7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until all empanadas are assembled.
  8. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons granulated sugar with 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  9. Brush each empanada with melted butter and sprinkle generously with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  10. Place empanadas on a greased baking sheet. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
