Air Fryer Cinnamon Apple Empanadas

I recently published how to make Cinnamon Apple Empanadas. This is a fabulous recipe that my entire family loved. 

Since I recently purchased an Air Fryer, I decided to try making these Cinnamon Apple Empanadas in the air fryer.

I have fallen in love with my air fryer and I am always trying to find new ways to use it. Using the air fryer creates less of a mess and is a bit healthier. 

What I love about making cinnamon apple empanadas is that not only are they easy to make but they use very few ingredients. 

• 1/2 cup sugar
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 3 Granny Smith apples, diced
• Cinnamon/Sugar mix 
• Empanada wraps (found in your grocer’s freezer)- thawed
• Oil for coating

The steps to make Cinnamon Apple Empanadas are simple. 

• Peel & dice 3 Granny Smith apples
• Melt butter in a saucepan
• Once melted, stir in the sugar & the cinnamon 
• Let dissolve
• Add apples & boil on low until apples are tender
• Remove from heat
• Spoon a tablespoon of apple mixture onto one half of each empanada wrap
• Fold the other half over & use a fork to seal the open the edges
• Pro Tip- I seal the edges with a fork on each side
• Brush each side of the empanadas with oil
• Sprinkle with a cinnamon/sugar mixture on each side 
• Cook in the air fryer for 5-8 minutes at 330 degrees 
• Pro Tip- First cook only one empanada to test for the correct amount of time. I cooked mine for 10 minutes and it made them too crunchy. 
• Serve alone or with ice cream.
