Ingredients

• 1 package of BetterGoods Apple Cinnamon Empanadas (frozen)

• Cooking spray or parchment liner (to prevent sticking)

• 1 tbsp melted butter (optional, for extra crispiness)

• ½ tsp cinnamon sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)

• ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional, for enhanced flavor)

• ¼ cup powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for about 3-5 minutes. Preheating ensures the empanadas start crisping up immediately when placed in the air fryer.

Step 2: Prepare the Empanadas

1. Remove the frozen empanadas from the packaging and place them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to allow for even cooking.

2. Lightly spray with cooking spray or brush with melted butter to enhance crispiness.

3. If desired, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar before air frying for added depth of flavor.

Step 3: Air Fry the Empanadas

• Cook at 375°F for 10-12 minutes, flipping the empanadas halfway through for even crisping.

• For extra crunch, cook an additional 2 minutes at 400°F at the end.

• The empanadas should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, while the apple filling remains warm and gooey.

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy

• Transfer the crispy empanadas to a plate and let them cool for 1-2 minutes before serving.

• Garnish with powdered sugar and a drizzle of caramel sauce for added sweetness.

• Serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a decadent dessert.

How to Serve These Empanadas

• Classic Dessert: Serve warm with a dusting of powdered sugar and a scoop of ice cream.

• Cinnamon Sugar Coating: Toss in cinnamon sugar after air frying for extra sweetness.

• Fall-Inspired Treat: Drizzle with honey or caramel sauce for a rich, cozy flavor.

Pro Tips for Best Results

• Flip the empanadas halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping.

• For extra golden crust, brush with an egg wash before air frying.

• Use parchment paper or a silicone liner for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.

• Want a gooey caramel flavor? Drizzle dulce de leche on top before serving.
