Preparation

1. Prepare the Filling

In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced green apples, raw brown sugar, white sugar, and ground cinnamon. Toss until the apples are evenly coated. Set aside.

2. Make the Empanada Dough

In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of cold unsalted butter (cubed), and a pinch of salt. Use your hands or a pastry cutter to mix until it resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add 1/4 cup of cold water until a dough forms. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and shape them into balls. Flatten each ball into a circle.

3. Assemble the Empanadas

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Take one dough circle and place a spoonful of the apple filling in the center. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and crimp the edges with a fork to seal. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

4. Bake the Empanadas

Place the empanadas on a greased baking sheet. Brush the tops with simple syrup (1/4 cup of sugar dissolved in 1/4 cup of water) and sprinkle with raw turbinado sugar. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
