Ingredients 

Empanada Dough

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsalted butter cold and diced
  • ¼ cup ice water
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Pumpkin Filling

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg beaten, for egg wash

Instructions 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, mixing until the dough comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  3. In another bowl, mix pumpkin puree, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about ⅛ inch thick. Cut into circles using a round cutter.
  5. Place a spoonful of pumpkin filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling and press the edges with a fork to seal.
  6. Brush the empanadas with beaten egg. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
