Filling

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and melted butter. Mix well until the apples are evenly coated. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Roll out the Dough

    On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastelito dough into thin rectangles, about 4 x 6 inches.

  3. 3

    Fill the Pastelito

    Place a spoonful of the apple filling in the center of each dough rectangle. Fold the dough over to create a triangle shape and press the edges to seal.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pastelitos on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, optionally dusted with powdered sugar.
