These empanadas will have your taste buds dancing! Pineapple seems to be the most common fruit filling for fruit empanadas, but guava and apple are frequently used and delicious.
Sprinkle the work surface with flour, lay out the pie crust, and cut into small circles
Place a small dollop of pineapple filling on one-half of each of the dough circles.
Beat the eggs with a fork
Wet the bottom edge of the circles with egg glaze to help seal the two halves. Fold over the dough to cover filling and seal off the edges with a fork pressing down along the edges
Mix the cinnamon and sugar together
Brush the pastry with egg glaze and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mix on the Empanada
Place in oven at 350 degrees for 5 - 8 minutes in an air fryer or 350 degrees for 20 minutes in a regular stove
When the pastry is golden brown and crispy remove from oven and let it cool before serving
