Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 Sheet frozen puff pastry sheet; thawed
¼ cup Slivered almonds
1 cup Apricot preserves
⅛ teaspoon Cinnamon
2 tablespoons Ground almonds; for topping

Directions

Yields 16 Empanaditas. Frozen puff pastry is used to make these easy fruit-filled empanaditas. They're best served straight from the oven. PREP TIME: 20 minutes. COOKING TIME: 15 minutes.

1. Preheat oven to 400F. Spray a cookie sheet with vegetable cooking spray.

On a floured board, unfold and roll out puff pastry sheet to a 12-inch square. Cut pastry into 16 3-inch squares.

2. In a small bowl, mix apricot preserves with almonds and cinnamon.

3. Top each pastry square with a heaping teaspoon of apricot preserve mixture. Fold squares in half to form triangles. Brush edges of triangles with water and press edges together with tines of a fork. Place triangles on prepared baking sheet. Bake empanaditas for 15 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack and dust with ground almonds.

Serve warm.
